How the test works
- Click anywhere in the box to start. The first click counts.
- Keep clicking as fast as you can until the timer runs out.
- Your score is clicks per second (CPS): total clicks divided by the time.
What it measures
Jitter clicking means tensing the muscles in your forearm so your hand vibrates, and letting that vibration press the button. It's much faster than normal clicking but harder to control, and it tires your arm quickly.
What is a good score?
| Score | Better than about |
|---|---|
| 14.8 CPS | 99% of people (top 1%) |
| 12.2 CPS | 90% of people (top 10%) |
| 10.7 CPS | 75% of people |
| 9.0 CPS | 50% of people (average) |
| 7.3 CPS | 25% of people |
Estimated from typical scores for this kind of test.
Tips to improve
- Tense your forearm, not your fingers, and let the vibration do the clicking.
- Keep the mouse still with your other fingers so the cursor doesn't drift.
- Practise in short bursts; jitter clicking strains the wrist, so stop if it hurts.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good jitter click CPS?
Around 9 CPS is typical once you've learned the technique. 12 CPS or more puts you in roughly the top 12%.
Is jitter clicking bad for your hand?
It can strain your wrist and forearm if you do it for long periods. Warm up, keep sessions short and stop if you feel pain.
