30 Second Click Test
Thirty seconds. Where form matters more than raw speed.
How it works
- 01
Thirty seconds is roughly where this stops being a speed test and becomes an endurance one. Almost nobody finishes at the rate they started.
- 02
Most people's second fifteen seconds come in well below their first. On the trace that reads as a slope rather than a flat band.
- 03
Grip changes the result more than technique does at this length. The tense claw grip that wins short tests tends to cramp before the clock runs out.
Common questions
What is a realistic 30 second CPS?
Between 4 and 6 for most people, which the readout calls Average to Fast. Anything at 8 or above held for the full thirty seconds is a strong result — far harder than the same number over five seconds.
My hand starts aching before the end. Is that normal?
Yes, and it is most of what this length measures. Aching is expected; sharp pain, tingling or numbness is not, and you should stop if you get any of them. No click score is worth an RSI flare.
Should I open fast or pace myself?
Pace. Thirty seconds is long enough that a fast opening costs you more in the back half than it gains in the front. Pick the rate you think you can still hold at twenty seconds, and start there.
