When to use a two-minute test
Many job applications for administrative, support and data roles ask for a typing speed. A two-minute result is a fair figure to quote: it is long enough to reflect your real pace while still being quick to take.
Check the speed graph on the results screen. If your line drops steadily towards the end, you're tiring — practising slightly longer sessions will help your stamina.
