APM Test

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.

Ready. Pick a mode and press Start.

Skill badges

3 x 3 is a speed drill. 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 add mouse precision. Keyboard mode measures hotkey rhythm.

Benchmarks: 40-80 APM is casual RTS pace, 100-180 is solid ladder speed, 200+ is advanced, and 300+ is serious StarCraft-style mechanics. Accuracy below 85% means you are probably spamming instead of acting cleanly.

What Is An APM Test?

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.

Grid APM vs Keyboard APM

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.

How This Benchmark Works

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.

Effective APM vs Raw APM

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.

APM Practice for League of Legends

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.

APM Test FAQ

Common apm test questions

What is a good APM score?

For clean target drills, 60-110 APM is improving, 110-160 is solid, 160-220 is advanced, and 220+ is serious RTS-style mechanics. Accuracy matters as much as the number.

What counts as an action in this test?

The score counts useful hits: the highlighted grid tile or the highlighted keyboard key. Wrong clicks and wrong keys are still recorded as inputs and misses so spam lowers accuracy.

How is APM different from CPS?

CPS measures raw mouse clicks per second. APM measures actions per minute across mouse or keyboard drills and is more relevant for RTS, MOBA, and esports hotkey practice.
