How the result is worked out

Your typing is matched against the passage word by word. A missing, extra or wrong word is a full mistake. A capital-letter, punctuation or spacing slip is a half mistake. Gross speed counts every 5 characters as one word. Net speed subtracts mistakes. This is the same idea most Indian exams use, though each exam sets its own pass mark — use the exam-mode tests to check against yours.
