I don't think the wpm calculation is correct. I got 90-something on this test, but another test[^] puts me around 60-70 consistently.

Was it sentences or was it (as it looks like from my glance) just random alpha-numeric characters? If the latter then I'd expect "scores" to drop.

Do it a few times and you'll notice that you'll often get some repeated text. But then again my 122 was very early on when it hadn't yet repeated :~
