the old way that typing tests were done was that every 5 keystrokes equal one word. therefore, if you left out "the" in the middle of a sentence, that would be:
space, t, h, e, space which equals 5 keystrokes,
and that would equal one keystroke per minute as an error. therefore, depending on how many words you typed in 5 minutes, say 300 5 keystroke words (that includes spaces and letters), it comes out to 60 wpm, with no errors, so your score would be 59 wpm.
the rules may have changed by now. 60 wpm is a pretty good score!
Unsure how many wpm I typed and if I did wrong or right
