Why corrected errors still count
A backspace removes the character from the final text but not from the keystroke record. The accuracy score therefore reflects the mistakes you actually made, not only the mistakes you left visible.
Longer passages expose fatigue and careless habits that short bursts can hide. Type at a sustainable pace and watch how accuracy, errors, and WPM move together.

Use the first pass to keep accuracy above 95 percent. Once the error rate is stable, raise your pace in small steps rather than trying to force a new speed.
Two minutes is short enough for a daily check and long enough to reveal rhythm breaks that appear only after the first minute.
Aiming for 95 percent or higher is a practical target for everyday typing. Beginners should prioritize accuracy before speed.
Fatigue and attention drift reduce sustained speed. That is exactly what a longer test is designed to measure.
