Read the source record, re-key every field, and get the two figures a staffing agency actually asks for: keystrokes per hour, and how many fields you entered exactly. Free, no sign-up.
Every set of records you key on this page.
KPH is every character you key, projected to an hour — the figure agencies and staffing firms quote. A field counts as exact only if every character matches, which is why the accuracy number and the exact-field count can disagree.
Alphanumeric data entry roles commonly quote 8,000 KPH as the hiring floor.
Data entry is quoted in KPH, not WPM. Every character you key counts, including the digits and the hyphens — projected out to an hour.
A field counts only if every character matches. One wrong digit in a ZIP or a phone number is a failed field, which is how the work is judged.
You re-key from a source document into labelled fields rather than copying a paragraph. That is the task itself, not a proxy for it.
Job listings for alphanumeric data entry commonly quote 8,000 keystrokes per hour, and numeric-only keypad work is usually quoted higher, around 10,000. Those are advertised floors rather than a standard — there is no accrediting body for data entry speed, and different agencies count keystrokes differently.
Accuracy is the figure that decides most screenings. A record entered at speed with a wrong account number costs more to correct than it saved, so agencies normally set a minimum accuracy first and rank on speed second. That is why this test reports exact fields alongside the percentage: 98% accuracy still means roughly one field in five had something wrong in it.
If you need a printable figure for an application, take the typing certificate test — it issues a dated PDF with your name, speed and accuracy on it. For numeric keypad work specifically, the 10-key typing test scores the number pad on its own.
Keep your eyes on the source, not the form. The single biggest loss in field entry is the glance back and forth, and it costs more than any individual key does. Use Enter or Tab to move between fields so your hands never leave the home position, and let the numeric keypad take every digit field.
Speed on structured records comes from rhythm rather than raw finger speed, so practice full records end to end rather than drilling single fields. If your straight typing speed is the limit, the lessons work on technique, and the standard typing test gives you a WPM baseline to measure against.
