An exam-style English typing test: read the passage, type it in the box, and get marked on net speed, key depressions and mistakes.
About the SSC skill test format
Many posts filled through Staff Selection Commission exams include a typing or data entry skill test on computer. Candidates usually see a passage on screen and type it into a separate area within a fixed time. The test is qualifying in nature, so the aim is to clear the required speed with as few errors as possible.
This simulator recreates that experience. Choose 10 or 15 minutes, set your target speed and allowed error percentage, and decide whether backspace is allowed. Leave Highlight progress off for exam realism.
A four-week plan to clear 35 WPM
Week 1: finish the home, top and bottom row lessons. No looking at the keyboard.
Week 2: one 3-minute test a day, focusing on 97% accuracy.
Week 4: full simulator attempts with backspace disabled, every other day.
Important: Typing Okay is not affiliated with SSC. Rules on speed, time, error limits and evaluation can change, so always follow the official notification for your exam.
Frequently asked questions
What speed is commonly required in SSC typing tests?
Commonly published requirements for clerical posts are 35 words per minute in English (about 10,500 key depressions per hour) or 30 words per minute in Hindi. Data entry skill tests are often stated in key depressions per hour. Requirements can change, so always check the current notification.
How long is the SSC typing test?
Typing tests for these posts are commonly 10 minutes, with extra time for eligible candidates as specified in the notification. Practise both 10 and 15 minute tests to be safe.
Is this the official SSC software?
No. This is an independent practice tool modelled on the publicly described format: a passage on screen, a separate typing box and error-based marking.
What counts as a half mistake?
In our simulator, a half mistake is a correct word with wrong capitalisation or punctuation. Wrong, missing and extra words are full mistakes.
