How your result is worked out
Gross speed counts every five keystrokes, spaces included, as one word and divides by the minutes. Net speed then takes your mistakes off. Mistakes are marked the way SSC’s evaluation guidelines do: a missed, added or misspelt word is a full mistake; a wrong capital letter, punctuation mark or space is a half mistake. Accuracy is the share of words you typed correctly.
What speed do exams ask for?
Across the 17 exams on this site whose English typing test sets a words-per-minute target, it runs from 20 to 40 words per minute; 30 WPM is the most common. For Hindi it runs from 20 to 35 WPM (12 exams), most often 25. Each exam measures it its own way, so check yours in the exam-mode tests.
How to use a 10-minute test
Practise the full ten minutes at least three times a week before the test, in the exam mode of your own exam so the passage length and backspace rule match.
