About this level

Now we add pressure — on purpose. Short timed runs teach you to stay calm and accurate when the clock is ticking, which is exactly what a typing test or an exam feels like.

What you practise here

  • 30 second dashShort and sharp. Do not panic — just type normally, faster. Target: 30 words per minute at 93% accuracy, over 30 seconds.
  • 60 second runA full minute. Settle into a rhythm in the first five seconds. Target: 32 words per minute at 93% accuracy, over 60 seconds.
  • 2 minute enduranceTwo minutes. Breathe. Let the pace carry you. Target: 34 words per minute at 94% accuracy, over 120 seconds.
  • Clock championSpeed and accuracy at the same time. You can do both. Target: 36 words per minute at 95% accuracy, over 60 seconds.

How this level is scored

Every lesson awards up to three stars. One star is for finishing, two for finishing accurately, and three for accuracy at the level's pace — speed on its own never earns a star. From Level 11 the lessons let you type straight through a mistake and fix it afterwards, because the goal has shifted from muscle memory to fluency. Words per minute is recorded but never shown to the child — it appears only on the parent and progress pages.
