[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:apmTest":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"The APM Test measures how many actions per minute your hands can fire off. APM became a familiar esports stat through real-time strategy games such as StarCraft, where it counts the commands a player issues. Here the rule is simpler: every key press and every click or tap on the pad counts as one action, the 15-second timer starts with your first input, and your score is actions × 4. Holding a key down counts only once, so alternating different keys with both hands is the way to climb. Results fall into four bands (under 100, 100–199, 200–299 and 300+ APM), your best score enters the global ranking, and a challenge link lets friends try to beat you under the same rules.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"APM Test | Check Your Actions Per Minute in 15 Seconds - Giggleus","Mash keys and tap the pad for 15 seconds to see your actions per minute, then send a challenge link to friends.",[9,12,15,18],{"question":10,"answer":11},"How is my APM calculated?","Your score is the number of actions in 15 seconds multiplied by 4 (÷ 15 × 60). Each key press and each click or tap on the pad is one action, and a held key counts only once.",{"question":13,"answer":14},"Is this the same as in-game APM?","No. In-game APM counts the commands you give to units and buildings, and metrics such as EPM try to filter out spam. This test counts raw inputs with no targets, so it measures pure hand speed.",{"question":16,"answer":17},"What is a good APM score on this test?","Under 100 APM is the warm-up band, 100–199 is average, 200–299 is fast, and 300 APM or more (at least 75 actions in 15 seconds) is the top band.",{"question":19,"answer":20},"How is it different from a CPS test or a spacebar counter?","A CPS test counts mouse clicks per second and a spacebar counter tracks a single key. The APM test adds up any keyboard keys plus pad clicks and reports the total as a per-minute rate."]
