Why this test matters

The APS Capability Framework lists typing among required skills for several administrative job families, with formal assessments common at the application stage. Typical targets: APS Level 1–2 administrative roles require 40–50 WPM; APS Level 3–4 roles often want 50–60 WPM; medical secretarial and legal support roles want 70+ WPM. Australian English vocabulary differences from UK English are minimal at the typing-test level. The 3-minute default matches APS practice.

Frequently asked questions
