Why this test matters
Virtual assistants who type 70+ WPM consistently earn more per hour than those at 50 WPM, because they're effectively producing more billable output in the same time. Common VA tasks โ email triage, calendar management, document formatting, data entry, content uploads โ are typing-bound, not thinking-bound. The 3-minute test below is the closest analog to an actual VA workload session. If you're below 50 WPM, two weeks of daily 15-minute practice usually moves the needle by 10โ15 WPM.
