How to take the test

- Start typing the text shown. The timer starts with your first key.

How WPM and accuracy are calculated
- WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Five characters, including spaces, count as one word.
- Accuracy = correct characters ÷ total characters typed × 100.
Speed needed for common exams
Each exam sets its own rules, and they can change. As an example, SSC CHSL asks for 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi on a computer. Always read the latest official notification for your exam.
Tips to type faster
- Keep your fingers on the home row (A S D F and J K L ;).
- Look at the screen, not the keyboard.
- Focus on accuracy first; speed follows.
- Practise 10–15 minutes every day rather than one long session a week.
- Sit straight and keep your wrists relaxed.
