Frequently Asked Questions

Is Typing Quest free?
Yes. Every lesson, practice mode, game and certificate is free with a Formula Quest account, and the typing test and the first lessons need no account at all.
Do I need an account?
No. You can take tests, try the first lessons and play games as a guest. Sign in with your Formula Quest account (it's free to create) to save your progress; lessons you passed as a guest on the same device are added to your account.
How is WPM calculated?
One word is five characters. Your headline speed is net WPM: characters typed ÷ 5 per minute, minus one word per minute for each uncorrected error. Full definitions are shown under every typing test.
Can I use Typing Quest on a phone?
Yes, for tests, practice and your progress. Touch-typing lessons work best with a physical keyboard, and results from touch keyboards are labelled and never compared with physical-keyboard results.
Which Arabic keyboard layout do you use?
The standard Arabic (101) layout used on Windows and available on macOS as "Arabic – PC".
Where do I manage my account?
Typing Quest is part of Formula Quest. Your sign-in, email, password, memberships and billing are managed in your Formula Quest account; Typing Quest's settings page has your typing preferences and your Typing Quest data.
Are your certificates accredited?
No. Certificates are issued by Typing Quest. Completion certificates show you finished part of a course; proficiency certificates show you passed a timed assessment verified on our servers. They are not accredited by any government or external body.
Is my data private?
We collect only what we need to run the service, we don't use advertising trackers, and you can download or delete your Typing Quest data at any time from Settings.
Can teachers use Typing Quest with a class?
Yes. A teacher creates a class, shares its code, sets assignments and sees each learner's progress. Organization access for schools and companies is arranged through Formula Quest. See the For teachers page.

Typing Quest works fully without these. Nothing optional is used until you choose, and you can change your choice any time from “Cookie choices” at the bottom of the page. Cookie policy

A random id kept only until you close this tab, so we can count how many tests are started and finished in one visit. No typed text or personal data.
