Endurance changes the score
Most people score lower in the third minute than the first. The difference is valuable information about fatigue and concentration.
3 Minute Typing Test
Three minutes reveals endurance that a short burst hides. It is a good choice before a long writing session or when you want a more stable WPM estimate.

About this format
Use it for job preparation
Many timed writing tasks run for several minutes. A three minute test gives you a closer simulation than a one minute burst.

Will my WPM be lower than in a 1 minute test?
Often yes. Sustained tests remove the initial burst advantage and measure consistent output.
What should I do between sessions?
Rest your hands, shake out tension, and keep your wrists straight before starting the next run.
