Free Data Entry Test

Copy customer records from a card into a five-field form: full name, customer ID, email, phone and amount. The test measures alphanumeric keystrokes per hour and accuracy, the two numbers data-entry employers ask about, and ends with a free verifiable certificate.

How the data entry score is calculated

Keystrokes per hour (KPH) is the number of characters you typed into the form fields, scaled to one hour. Letters, digits, punctuation and spaces all count; Enter and Tab move between fields and are recorded as keystrokes but do not add to KPH. Accuracy is measured character by character against the record on the card: a field is only fully correct when it matches exactly, including capitals, the dollar sign and the commas in the amount. When you submit a record, any characters missing from a field or typed beyond its end are counted as errors as well, so finish each field before moving on.

By default backspace is off, matching the way most screening tests are run, so a mistake stays on the record. Switch it on before you start if you want to be able to correct the previous character. Copy, paste, drag-and-drop and right-click are disabled in the form, and the card itself cannot be selected, so every character has to be typed.

What employers usually look for

Job postings for data entry clerks, claims processors, medical records staff and order-entry roles commonly cite around 10,000 KPH with 98 percent accuracy or better for alphanumeric work; roles that are mostly numeric tend to quote 8,000 KPH and up on a 10-key pad. Treat these as rough guides: a company's own test, if it has one, decides. Accuracy generally matters more than raw speed because every error becomes a correction later.

About the free certificate

When time runs out, enter your name to receive a free certificate showing your KPH, accuracy, test length and backspace setting, with a verification link that anyone can open to confirm the result is genuine. No account is required. The records are randomly generated for each attempt and use fictional names, example-domain email addresses and reserved 555 phone numbers.
