Can I add typing test into my assessment?

Yes, you can easily add a typing test.


The Typing Test is designed to evaluate a candidate’s typing speed and accuracy under timed conditions. It simulates real-world scenarios where individuals must read and type simultaneously.


Key Features:

  • Flexible Duration: Candidates can take the test for intervals ranging from 60 seconds to 300 seconds.
  • Parallel Reading and Typing: The test requires candidates to read a passage while typing it in real-time, ensuring that both comprehension and typing ability are assessed.
  • Performance Metrics: At the end of the test, the system calculates:
  1. Words per Minute (WPM) – Adjusted speed after factoring in errors.
  2. Raw Words per Minute (Raw WPM) – The unadjusted typing speed, excluding error corrections.
  3. Accuracy – The percentage of correctly typed words compared to the original passage.


Scoring:

A composite score is generated based on the candidate’s speed, raw speed, and accuracy, providing a balanced measure of their typing proficiency.
