Quick quiz: do you know the rules? (3)
Before you start
- Time: 10 minutes.
- Backspace is allowed, as in this exam.
- The timer starts with your first key, not when the page opens. Copy and paste are blocked.
- Your result is scored by this exam’s rules: the speed standard and error limit for your category, with full and half mistakes counted separately.
- Hindi: the built-in Remington GAIL and Inscript keyboards work on any computer. If you use Windows’ own Hindi keyboard instead, choose “My system keyboard” and switch it on before you start.
- For the real feel, tick “Exam-screen view” or press Full screen.
