The accuracy and speed are the only two factors that are used to compute the score.
The score is computed following the next set of rules:
The bonus won't subtract points in any case, and it’s calculated based on the number of errors and the number of times you press the delete key (the fewer the better). The way to calculate it is the following:
Example 1: imagine that the exercise is finished with a speed of 68 cpm, and a 100% of accuracy:
Example 2: someone who writes 92 cpm and has made one error, having 99% accuracy, would get 737 points:
Example 3:imagine you finish with 235 cpm but at the cost of a 95% accuracy for having made 3 errors, then you will get:
Example 4: now the case of a someone who writes really fast. He finishes at 598 cpm but at the cost of a 78% accuracy for having made 13 errors, the score will be:
Example 5: now an extreme case, imagine you end up with 398 cpm and a 68% accuracy due to 19 errors:
As you can conclude from the examples above, this system rewards accuracy the most.
The rule of thumb is: learn to press the keys properly and start improving your speed when you feel confident with your accuracy.
