THREE WAYS TO FIND YOUR RHYTHM
Warm up. Measure. Challenge yourself.
Typing tests
Choose an English passage and difficulty, or let Type surprise you. See your speed and accuracy, track your personal best, and set a weekly test goal.
Tests save to your history and are available to your school’s teachers/admins in Student results. Personal tests do not enter school rankings.Competitions
Join a challenge organised by your school. Every participant gets the same passage, with clear dates, attempt limits and submission rules.
Valid student results reach the school leaderboard after the competition is published.YOUR FIRST VISIT

School access & other information
A PLACE FOR YOUR WHOLE SCHOOL
One space. A clear role for everyone.
Your SchoolGo account determines what you can do in Type.
Students
Practise, take personal tests, follow your progress and join competitions you’re eligible for. Start with accuracy; speed can follow.
Teachers & staff
Create school, year-group or selected-student competitions. Track participation, review results and publish the challenges you organise. Your own tests stay separate from student rankings.
School admins
Support competitions across your school, check participation, review flagged competition results and manage publication or cancellation.
GOOD TO KNOW
Before your first keystroke.
Which SchoolGo account should I use?
Use your personal, named SchoolGo Email login. Shared school accounts, System Keys, Lab sessions and parent accounts cannot enter Type as named users. If your account cannot connect, ask your school admin to check your People record and role.
What should I know before starting a competition?
Read the dates, attempt limit and submission mode first. Starting uses an attempt slot, even if you leave. Auto mode records when you finish; manual mode needs you to press Submit before the competition closes. Scheduling freezes the passage and participant list.
Why might the leaderboard be empty?
The leaderboard contains valid student results from published competitions. It excludes personal tests, staff results, cancelled competitions and unresolved flagged results. Names are masked by default, for example “Ahmad B.”
How are speed and accuracy shown?
Net WPM measures speed using correctly typed final characters. Gross WPM includes all typed characters. Accuracy shows how accurately you typed. Scored results are checked by the server; Backspace is allowed and pasting is blocked.
What about shared computers?
Check that your own name is shown before typing. When finished, sign out of both Type and SchoolGo. Signing out of one does not automatically sign you out of the other.
