Set a timer on your smart phone for one minute, on the computer, type out the following sentence as many times as you can within that one minute time frame.
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Note the beginning of the sentence is not capitalized, nor is there any punctuation at the end.
This is how I was tested, back in the day.
They choose this sentence because it uses every single letter in the English alphabet.

HTH.
