Run a timed APM benchmark with target grids or hotkey mode. The tool separates useful hits from spam, tracks accuracy and peak pace, saves recent tests locally, and shows your personal best for each mode and duration.
Mode benchmark
Choose a duration and mode, then hit only the highlighted targets. The score rewards useful actions per minute, while accuracy exposes spam clicks and wrong keys.
Click the highlighted target only.
3 x 3 is a speed drill. 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 add mouse precision. Keyboard mode measures hotkey rhythm.
APM Test is a free, browser-based actions-per-minute benchmark with 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and keyboard modes for RTS, MOBA, and esports training.
APM means actions per minute. In RTS, MOBA, and esports practice, it describes how many useful inputs you can perform in a minute. This upgraded APM test measures speed and accuracy together, so random spam does not look better than clean target hits. For a clean testing workflow, read the APM test guide.
The 3x3 grid is a pure speed drill. The 4x4 and 5x5 grids add mouse precision because the active target moves across more possible positions. Keyboard mode is for hotkey rhythm: define your key set, then press the highlighted key as quickly and cleanly as possible.
Each useful hit is timestamped with performance.now(). Live APM is projected from your recent hit pace, average APM is calculated from total useful hits divided by elapsed minutes, and accuracy is useful hits divided by total inputs. Misses, wrong keys, and wrong tiles remain visible so the score cannot hide spam.
Raw APM counts every input. Effective APM is closer to meaningful gameplay: correct hotkeys, useful commands, and accurate target selection. This tool emphasizes effective APM by counting the highlighted target as the useful action while still showing total inputs and misses.
League players should treat APM as a clean-input drill, not a ranked-skill score. For the MOBA-specific workflow, read the League of Legends actions per minute tracker guide, then test keyboard rhythm and mouse accuracy separately before combining them in Practice Tool. If you are organizing the practice around a new roster, guild or Discord group, you can also generate a team or community name with a short tag.
Widely cited ladder replay analyses put Diamond StarCraft II players around 105 APM and Grandmasters near 193 (ladder counters log every command, so in-game figures run above a clean-hit score here). The rank badge in this test uses per-mode thresholds instead: on the 3x3 grid you reach Expert at 110 average APM and Pro at 220, while the denser 5x5 grid uses lower cutoffs (45/85/125/175) because every target takes longer to reach.
This benchmark reports both halves of the pair. Peak APM is your best pace over a rolling window of up to 10 seconds, which makes it a burst measure. Average APM is total correct hits divided by elapsed minutes across the whole run, which is your sustained pace. Real matches alternate between the two: short bursts during fights, steady rhythm during production and economy cycles.
Personal bests are saved separately for every mode and duration combination, so compare like with like.
APM matters most in RTS because you juggle army control, economy, and scouting at the same time. Commonly tracked figures put Dota 2 professionals around 200-280 APM, high-elo League players roughly at 170-210 with teamfight spikes, and Age of Empires IV pros posting some of the highest figures in the genre on per-game trackers like AoE4World, often well over 300. In MOBAs you control a single hero, so past a moderate speed threshold decision quality wins games, which is why this benchmark scores accuracy right beside APM. For practice, the grid modes train fast target switching between positions, and keyboard mode drills ability-key rotations with a key set you define yourself.
Pros are not pressing random keys faster. They loop memorized command cycles, such as checking production, cycling control groups, and jumping between camera hotkeys, until the chain runs on muscle memory and costs almost no attention. Warmup spam inflates a raw in-game counter but adds nothing useful, and here wrong tiles and wrong keys from your set are scored as misses, so spam lowers your accuracy instead of inflating your score.
