Common ranges
Entry office work often expects roughly 40–50 WPM. Administrative and executive support roles may ask for 50–65+ WPM with strong accuracy.
Specialized work (captioning, heavy transcription) can demand more. Always read the posting — requirements vary by country and company.
Prepare with Typetap.io
Take several 60-second tests on Typetap and note average WPM and accuracy. Use practice modes that match the job (for example administrative assistant or coding pages if relevant).
Read Typetap’s guides on good WPM scores, then schedule short daily sessions until you clear the target with room to spare.
