Frequently Asked Questions

How to check typing speed in WPM? +

Start typing the passage above. When the time ends, you see your net WPM, gross WPM, accuracy and mistakes. One word is counted as 5 key presses, including spaces.

What is a good typing speed for government exams? +

SSC CHSL needs 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi. RRB NTPC needs 30 WPM in English or 25 WPM in Hindi. Aim 5 to 10 WPM above the target, because exam nerves slow you down.

What is the typing speed required for SSC CHSL? +

35 words per minute in English or 30 in Hindi, in a 10-minute test on a computer. Errors are allowed up to 7% for UR and EWS, and up to 10% for other categories, as per recent notices.

Is 35 WPM a good typing speed? +

Yes, for government exams. 35 net WPM clears SSC CHSL English and RRB NTPC English. For office work, 40 to 50 WPM is comfortable.

How many words is 35 WPM in 10 minutes? +

350 words, or about 1,750 key presses including spaces. Take the SSC CHSL test above to check if you can keep that speed for the full 10 minutes.

Posts that need it take a Data Entry Speed Test (DEST): about 2,000 key depressions in 15 minutes, which is 8,000 key depressions per hour. Check your post in the latest CGL notice.

30 WPM in English or 25 WPM in Hindi, in a 10-minute typing skill test. It applies to posts like Junior Clerk cum Typist and Senior Clerk cum Typist.

What is the difference between gross WPM and net WPM? +

Gross WPM counts everything you typed. Net WPM subtracts your mistakes. Exams like SSC check net speed, so that is the number to watch.

How are mistakes counted in the SSC typing test? +

A wrong, missing or extra word is a full mistake. A capital letter or punctuation error is a half mistake. This test counts both the same way.

Is this typing test certificate valid? +
