Enter the total number of questions and the total time taken to answer them into the calculator to determine the questions per minute rate. This calculator helps in assessing the speed of answering questions in a given timeframe.

Questions Per Minute Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the questions per minute rate.

QPM = Q / T

Variables:

  • QPM is the questions per minute rate
  • Q is the total number of questions
  • T is the total time taken to answer the questions (minutes)

To calculate the questions per minute rate, divide the total number of questions by the total time taken to answer them in minutes.

What is Questions Per Minute?

Questions per minute (QPM) is a measure of how many questions a person can answer within a minute. It is often used to gauge the efficiency and speed of individuals in various scenarios such as academic tests, interviews, or competitive events. Understanding one’s QPM can help in improving time management skills and setting realistic goals for completing tasks that involve answering questions.

How to Calculate Questions Per Minute?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Questions Per Minute rate.


  1. First, determine the total number of questions (Q).
  2. Next, determine the total time taken to answer the questions (T) in minutes.
  3. Use the formula from above = QPM = Q / T.
  4. Finally, calculate the Questions Per Minute rate (QPM).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total number of questions (Q) = 50

Total time taken to answer the questions (T) = 30 minutes
