The favourite short benchmark

Five seconds is long enough that luck hardly matters (one click is 0.2 CPS) and short enough to stay near full speed. Start at about 90% rather than flat out, hold the pace through the middle and finish hard.

Good 5 second scores

Most people get 33 to 40 clicks (6.5 to 8 CPS), usually just above their 10 second score. Around 45 clicks is fast, and 60 or more usually means jitter or butterfly clicking.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 5 or the 10 second CPS test better?

Five seconds is closer to your top speed. Ten seconds adds stamina and is the usual benchmark.

Why do I slow down in the last seconds?

Your forearm starts to tire, especially if you tense up or hold your breath.
