SSC CGL Typing Test
Formula to Calculate Typing Speed
CW: Total Correct Typed Words
RW: Total Incorrect Typed Words
TW: Total Typed Words (CW + RW)
Typing Speed (WPM) = CW / Time (in minutes)
Accuracy = (CW / TW) × 100%
The official SSC CGL Data Entry Skill Test (DEST) generally contains around 2,000 key depressions (approximately 350–400 words) to be typed within 15 minutes, which requires an average typing speed of about 27 words per minute with acceptable accuracy.
The passages provided on this website are intentionally longer (800–1000 words) and are categorized as Advanced Endurance Typing Tests. These are designed to help candidates build extreme typing stamina and train for higher speeds such as 60+ WPM while maintaining accuracy.
If a candidate is able to type even half of this content accurately within 15 minutes, they will be well prepared and can comfortably clear the actual SSC CGL DEST examination.

SSC CGL Typing Test 2: Master Precision & Break Your Speed Plateau
You have learned the basics. You know the rules. Now, it is time to level up. Welcome to Practice Set 2 of our advanced SSC CGL Typing Series.
Many aspirants hit a "speed wall" at 25-27 WPM. In the high-pressure environment of the exam hall, this is the danger zone. SSC CGL Typing Test 2 is designed to push you past this plateau by focusing on the official formulas and strict error penalties used by the Commission.
Official Passing Criteria & Standards
To qualify, you must navigate a specific set of rules. While some SSC posts (like LDC) require 35 WPM in 10 minutes, the SSC CGL DEST has its own unique benchmark.
English: 35 WPM (approx 10,500 KDPH)
Hindi: 30 WPM (approx 9,000 KDPH)
Note: For CGL DEST specifically, the target is 2,000 Key Depressions in 15 mins (8,000 KDPH).
Standard Test: 10 Minutes.
CGL DEST: 15 Minutes.
Don't stop early! Use spare time to correct errors.

The Evaluator's Algorithm: How We Calculate Your Score
The SSC evaluation is "Non-Additive." This means you cannot just type fast to cover up mistakes. Every mistake reduces your speed score. Our simulator uses the exact logic below to grade your Practice Set 2 performance.
Decoding Mistakes: Full vs. Half Errors
To maintain High Accuracy, you must understand how penalties are applied. Mistakes are calculated to two decimal places.
1. Full Mistakes (The Deal Breakers)
- Omission: Skipping a word entirely.
- Substitution: Typing a different word (e.g., "Table" instead of "Cable").
- Addition: Typing a word not found in the original passage.
2. Half Mistakes (The Silent Killers)
- Spacing: No space or extra space between words.
- Punctuation: Missing or wrong punctuation marks.
- Capitalization: Typing "delhi" instead of "Delhi".
