How well did you do?

 

To work out your speed we need to convert the time it took you into minutes:

Divide the number of 'odd seconds' by 60 and add to the number of whole minutes (eg,. if it took you 2 minutes 24 seconds then you divide 24 by 60 and add 2 = 2.4 minutes)

The text contained 643 words, so to find the number of words per minute, divide 643 by the number of minutes (in our example 643/2.4 = 268 wpm)

Remember or write down your speed for later comparison.
