        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 :~

                      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.

                      It's real paragraphs. But with all the punctuation and capitalization included. It uses a Java applet to run the test.

                        I think it has to do with the words it uses. There seemed to be a large number of large words. I think characters per minute is a more accurate metric of speed.

                        This statement is false.

                          The 'official definition' of words per minute defines a word as 5 keys (letters, numbers, symbols, space, enter, tab, etc). So unless the test isn't following the rules, word length shouldn't matter.
