Results, scores and certificates
Typing Gauge provides skills assessments and practice benchmarks. Results do not guarantee employment and should not be interpreted as universal professional or industry certification. Employer requirements vary by organisation and role.
Typing Gauge certificates are "Typing Gauge Skills Assessment" results. They are not government-accredited, professional or industry certifications. Integrity measures such as paste blocking reduce misuse but can't prevent it completely.
Advertising
Typing Gauge is free and funded by advertising from Google AdSense on content pages. Ads are provided by third parties, and we're not responsible for advertisers' products or websites. You control ad personalisation on Privacy choices.
Our content
The test passages, records, articles and design are ours or licensed to us. You may use them only to take tests and for personal, non-commercial reference.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep Typing Gauge available and accurate but can't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may change or withdraw features, and we may update these terms. We'll show the date of the latest version below and tell account holders about significant changes.
