How this typing test works
Choose Free practice or pick an exam from the list. When you pick an exam, the test sets the time and qualifying speed for you, and at the end it tells you whether your speed would qualify. Then choose Easy, Medium or Hard, and type each word you see, pressing the space bar to move to the next one. Correct words turn green and wrong words are marked red. The timer starts when you press your first key. Gross speed counts everything you typed, while net speed counts only the correct words. Speed is calculated on the basis of 5 characters for 1 word.
Easy, Medium and Hard levels
Easy uses short, common words and simple sentences, so it suits beginners. Medium uses normal paragraphs with commas and full stops. Hard adds numbers, brackets, capital letters and office-style wording in English, and long words, joined letters and numbers in Hindi. The levels are for practice only and are not copies of any real exam passage.
Typing in Hindi
To practise Hindi, switch your keyboard to Hindi first. On Windows press the Windows key and the space bar together, or use Google Input Tools. On a phone, add Hindi in your Gboard settings. If you do not have a Hindi keyboard, tick the built-in Hindi keyboard option and follow the glowing keys. Then type the words exactly as shown.
Typing speed needed in government exams
Many clerical and data entry posts ask for a typing skill test, and the required speed is different for each recruitment. Some exams measure words per minute (WPM) and some measure key depressions per hour (KDPH), which is the total number of key presses in an hour. Five key presses make one word, so 8,000 KDPH is about 27 words per minute. The table below shows the rules we have built into this test, checked on 31 October 2026. Always confirm the speed in your own official notification, because it can change from year to year.
| Exam | English | Hindi | Time | Practise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSC CHSL – LDC / JSA | 35 WPM | 30 WPM | 10 min | Start |
| SSC CHSL – DEO | 8,000 KDPH | – | 15 min | Start |
| SSC CHSL – DEO (higher-speed posts) | 15,000 KDPH | – | 15 min | Start |
| Delhi High Court – Junior Judicial Assistant | 35 WPM | – | 10 min | Start |
| Rajasthan High Court – Clerk Gr II / JJA | 8,000 KDPH | 8,000 KDPH | 10 min | Start |
| Himachal Pradesh High Court – Clerk | 30 WPM | 25 WPM | 10 min | Start |
| UPSSSC – Junior Assistant | 30 WPM | 25 WPM | 5 min each | Start |
SSC Stenographer typing part
In the SSC Stenographer skill test you first take 10 minutes of shorthand dictation, at 80 words per minute for Grade D and 100 words per minute for Grade C, and then type it out on a computer. The typing time is 50 minutes in English and 65 minutes in Hindi for Grade D, and 40 minutes in English and 55 minutes in Hindi for Grade C. This test cannot play a dictation, so the Stenographer options practise only the typing part.
Tips to improve your typing speed
Keep your fingers on the home row and try not to look at the keys. Focus on accuracy first, because mistakes slow you down more than careful typing. Practise for 15 to 20 minutes every day and increase the time slowly. Start with Easy, move to Medium when you type without mistakes, and use Hard in the last weeks before your exam. Sit straight and keep your wrists relaxed.
