5 Second CPS Test
Five seconds is the classic quick-fire CPS check: long enough to count properly, short enough to go flat out.
5-second test
Click trace: each spike is one input, its height the instant rate; the line is your rolling 1-second CPS.
About the 5-second test
Five seconds sits mostly inside the opening burst, so scores are a little above 10-second results. It is a good length for comparing techniques back to back.
Each extra click adds 0.2 CPS, so results settle fast. Three runs give you a reliable number.
Typical normal-click score at this length: 6–9 CPS.

Questions
What is a good score on a 5 second CPS test?
Most people land around 6–9 CPS on a 5-second test with a normal click. Jitter, butterfly and drag clicking push well above that.
How is the 5 second CPS calculated?
Total clicks divided by 5. The timer starts on your first click, so 40 clicks gives 8 CPS.
Why is my score different at other lengths?
Short tests measure your opening burst and long tests measure the rate you can sustain. Compare scores only at the same length.
