Formula: (Chars ÷ 5 ÷ Time) − (Errors ÷ Time)
State and federal civil service exams, court reporter assessments, and hospital clerical screenings commonly use a 5-minute proctored typing test with a strict accuracy minimum (typically 95% to 98%).
Under typical certification-style scoring, uncorrected errors reduce your net score substantially. Training on RaccoonType's 5-minute mode prepares you for the psychological and physical endurance these assessments demand. RaccoonType is a practice tool, not an official certifying body.
