10-Key Speed: Convert DPM to KPH

How 10-key speed is measured

KPH means keystrokes per hour, while this one-minute number-pad test reports correct digits per minute (DPM). Under the same counting rule, the conversion is DPM × 60 = KPH, so 150 correct digits per minute corresponds to 9,000 correct keystrokes per hour.

Use the assessment's stated requirement

There is no single employer benchmark represented by this game. Job assessments can differ in field length, punctuation, correction rules, duration, and whether they report gross or correct keystrokes. Use the requirement printed by the employer or test provider.

• To convert this one-minute result, multiply DPM by 60: 100 DPM becomes 6,000 KPH.
• If an assessment deducts errors, use its net-score rule rather than the simple conversion.
• Practice with the same duration and correction policy when those details are available.
• Read digit accuracy and field accuracy beside DPM; they answer different questions.

Accuracy is the real screen

A KPH figure is incomplete without the assessment's error rule. On this site, DPM counts correct digits, digit accuracy checks every typed position, and field accuracy counts only fully correct completed fields. Use all three to see whether a faster run also stayed clean.

How to test and improve

This test supplies six-to-nine-digit fields for 60 seconds. Learn the touch method — middle finger anchored on the 5, eyes on the field — and compare three-run medians. If an actual employment screen uses other symbols or a different error rule, practice that format separately.
