How do I prepare for a one-minute typing test?

One-minute tests measure pure burst speed. Prepare: 1) Warm up for 2-3 minutes typing any text. 2) Use a familiar keyboard. 3) Focus on reading ahead – in 60 seconds, every fraction of a second counts. 4) Don't backspace unless the test penalizes errors heavily; moving forward gives higher gross WPM. 5) Keep fingers relaxed. 6) Practice 1-minute sprints daily. 7) Accept that 1-minute scores are 10–20% higher than your 5-minute endurance speed. Use them for confidence, but don't overvalue them for real work readiness.
