The script has in total 5 modes:

As the name suggests, in this mode you could set a time like 30 seconds and your test will run for that amount of time only
2. Word based test
In this mode, you choose the amount of words you want to type in a given test. Accordingly time will be noted and results would be shown
3. Strict time based test
Similar to time based test but the test ends when you make a mistake
4. Strict word based test
Similar to word based test but the test ends when you make a mistake
5. Infinite Practice
The typing practice would go on indefinetly until you specifically want it to end which you can do by typing “exit” anytime during the test
