# Typing Speed Quiz

The Typing Speed quiz is an assessment designed to measure how fast and accurately someone can type. The test typically involves typing a set of words or a passage of text within a specific time frame (usually measured in seconds or minutes). The goal is to assess the user's words per minute (WPM) rate and their accuracy.

**Creating a Typing Speed quiz**

* On the Admin Home screen, select the **Assessment** toolkit.
* Click on the **Typing Speed** tile under the **Single-Question Quizzes** section.
* Click on the **Add New Quiz** link located at the top of the page.
* On the New Quiz page, fill in the required fields:
  * **Quiz Name**
    * Enter a descriptive name for the quiz (e.g., "Typing Speed Test 1 Minute").
  * **Time Limit (seconds)**
    * Set the time limit for how long learners will have to complete the test (e.g., 60 seconds).
  * **Attempt Limit**
    * Set how many times learners can attempt the quiz (e.g., 1 attempt).
* Optional Fields for setting a required performance threshold:
  * **Maximum Possible Points:**
    * Set the maximum number of points the quiz can be worth.
  * **Points Required to Pass**
    * Set the number of points needed to pass the quiz.
  * **Passing Score (%)**
    * Set the percentage needed to pass (e.g., 80%).
  * **Passing WPM**
    * Set the minimum Words Per Minute (WPM) needed to pass.
  * **Passing KPH**
    * Set the minimum Keystrokes Per Hour (KPH), if relevant.
  * **Passing Accuracy (%)**
    * Set the required accuracy percentage (e.g., 95%).
* In the **Quiz Text** card, add the text you want the learner to type in the content box. This could be a sentence, paragraph, or set of words.
* Click **Save**.

If you're allowing multiple attempts on the Typing Speed quiz, you can add different text for each attempt by clicking the **Add New Item** button. The system will randomize the text, giving learners a new passage each time they take the quiz.

For example: **Attempt 1 -> Text A:** "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." **Attempt 2 -> Text B:** "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/assessments/single-question-quizzes/typing-speed-quiz.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
