How is WPM calculated?

Words Per Minute (WPM) is calculated by dividing the total characters typed by 5 (standard word length) and then by the time in minutes. Net WPM subtracts errors from the gross WPM.

Can I use this for CPCT exam practice?

Yes! Our Hindi typing test includes passages of varying difficulty that are perfect for CPCT, SSC, and other government typing exam preparation.

What keyboard layout does this support?

This test works with any input method. You can use your standard keyboard with a Hindi IME, or use any other Hindi typing method you prefer.

How Typing Speed and Accuracy Are Measured

Typing speed is reported in words per minute (WPM), where one "word" is standardised as five keystrokes. Gross WPM counts everything you type, while net WPM subtracts your errors — which is closer to how recruitment exams actually score you. Government tests often express the same requirement as key depressions per hour (KDPH); for example, 35 WPM is roughly 10,500 KDPH. This test shows gross WPM, net WPM, accuracy and error count live so you always know where you stand.

The key to improving is to build accuracy first and let speed follow. Rushing produces errors that most exams penalise heavily, so a steady, controlled rhythm beats fast-but-sloppy typing. Short, regular practice sessions are more effective than occasional long ones.
