Why this test matters

The UK Civil Service has used typing as a measurable competency for decades, and many local authority and NHS clerical roles still test typing speed during application. Common targets: Civil Service administrative officers 40 WPM at 95%+ accuracy; legal secretaries 60–70 WPM; medical secretaries 70+ WPM (often with audio-typing capability); court reporters use specialized stenography. The 3-minute test below matches the format used in many UK assessments. Vocabulary differences from US English (colour, organisation, programme) are limited to long-tail words and don't affect WPM in any meaningful way.

Frequently asked questions

What WPM does the UK Civil Service require?
Around 40 WPM with 95% accuracy for administrative officer roles. Specialized secretarial roles require 60+.
Are UK and US typing tests interchangeable?
Effectively yes. The most common 500 English words overlap ~98% between dialects.
What's a good typing speed for an NHS clerical role?
40–60 WPM is typical. Medical secretaries often need 70+ with strong audio-typing skills.
