GWAM

Also known as GWPM, which is short for for Gross Words Per Minute, GWAM is short for Gross Words A Minute and is similar to WPM except it does not account for any errors. GWAM is the overall typing speed regardless of how many errors you make. GWAM is often used as a measurement for users who are just learning to type and is later replaced by WPM.

GWAM can be easily calculated by typing text from an alternate source for 3 to 5 minutes and taking the amount of words you typed and divide it by the amount of minutes you typed. For example, if you typed 400 words in 5 minutes; divide 400 into 5 to get your 80GWAM.
