How the CPS test works
Choose a length (10 seconds is the standard) and click the pad as fast as you can. The timer starts on your first click, and that click counts. Your score is clicks ÷ seconds: 74 clicks in 10 seconds is 7.4 CPS.
What is a good CPS?
Most people click 5 to 7 times per second over 10 seconds. Around 8 is fast, 10 is very fast, and 12 or more usually takes a special technique. Short tests score higher because there is no time to tire.
How to click faster
- Warm up with two or three short tests first.
- Click with your fingertip, resting just above the button.
- Stay relaxed in long tests and save tension for short bursts.
- Learn jitter, butterfly or drag clicking.
