FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions about the Arabic Typing Speed Test.
What does the Arabic Typing Speed Test do?
It gives you a random right-to-left Arabic passage — from short sentences about tea and the park to Hard ones with quotes, times and prices — and reports your words per minute and accuracy when you finish or your timer ends.
Do I type Arabic directly, right to left?
Yes — you type Arabic directly, in its own cursive script and right-to-left direction, the same way you'd type any other language here.
Why do Arabic letters look different depending on where they are in a word?
Arabic is a cursive script where most letters change shape depending on whether they're at the start, middle or end of a word (or standing alone) — this test shows and expects that native script exactly as an Arabic keyboard produces it.
Does the cursive joining affect my score?
No. The font joins the letters on screen as you type; the test compares the underlying characters, so you only need to press the right keys in the right order.
Which Arabic keyboard layout should I use?
The standard Arabic (101) layout that comes with Windows, macOS, Android and iOS works fine, since the test only checks the characters you produce. Switch to it with your system's language shortcut, such as Windows key + Space on Windows.
Do I have to type the hamza and short-vowel marks?
Yes. Letters such as أ, إ and ؤ are different characters from plain ا and و, so type them as shown. A few passages also include short-vowel marks like ً, which belong to the letter they sit on — leave one out and that letter is marked wrong.
Is Arabic punctuation different from English?
Yes. The passages use the Arabic comma ،, question mark ؟ and semicolon ؛, which are separate characters from their Latin versions, so type them from the Arabic layout.
Are numbers shown in Arabic-Indic digits (٠–٩)?
No. Dates, times and amounts in the Hard passages, such as 9:30 and 1,059.32, use Western 0–9 digits, so type them as shown rather than switching to Arabic-Indic numerals.
