How the Punctuation Leaderboard Ranks Scores
Learn which attempts count on the punctuation leaderboard, accuracy thresholds, and how to qualify without mixing other test modes.
Only punctuation mode counts
The board ranks best qualifying runs where content mode is punctuation—passages with dense commas, quotes, and dashes. Standard one-minute tests and programmer symbol runs never appear here.
Start from the punctuation test page or an async challenge set to punctuation keyboard mode.
When remote days blur together, schedule punctuation warm-ups at the same morning slot for honest trends.

Peak ranking and eligibility
Like other specialty boards, punctuation uses your single best qualifying WPM at sufficient accuracy, with caps that keep outliers from dominating.
You need at least one saved attempt; guests can practice but cannot publish a public row.
Run one punctuation test before long writing blocks; shift keys wake up faster than cold email marathons.
Support staff should pair punctuation drills with canned-macro review so personalized replies stay clean.
Bragging moments and streaks
Top-three finishes can unlock bragging moments on your profile when you are signed in. Treat them as fun milestones, not job credentials.
If you care about consistency, pair leaderboard checks with a standard weekly prose test for balance.
Log punctuation-mode WPM separately from standard tests so comma and quote gains do not hide inside blended scores.
Students citing essays should practice quotation marks the week assignments require dialogue, not only before finals.
Continue practicing
The in-page tool uses punctuation-heavy prose (commas, quotes, dashes). It is not a programmer symbol test—open the full punctuation test, check the punctuation leaderboard, then compare with a standard one-minute run.
