Punctuation Typing Test
The punctuation typing test mixes commas, periods, apostrophes, quotation marks and other symbols into the words you type, just like real writing. Most typing tests use plain lowercase words, which hides the keys that actually slow people down — this test puts them front and centre.
Training with punctuation builds the reach and rhythm you need for emails, essays and messages, where capital letters and symbols appear constantly. Expect your speed to dip at first; that gap is exactly the skill this test helps you close.

Frequently asked questions
Why practise typing with punctuation?
Real writing is full of punctuation and capital letters. Practising with them builds skills that plain-word tests miss, so your everyday typing actually gets faster.
Will punctuation lower my WPM?
Usually a little at first, because symbols need extra reaches. With practice the gap shrinks and your real-world typing speed improves.
Can I combine punctuation with numbers?
Yes. Once the test loads you can toggle both punctuation and numbers, and adjust the duration to suit you.
