Train like it's exam day

Many government typing tests, including several used in India and Nepal, ask candidates to type a passage for ten minutes or more. The challenge isn't only speed. It's keeping your accuracy when your hands and focus start to tire. Ten minutes of steady typing is the best rehearsal you can get.

A simple stamina plan

  1. Week 1: one 3-minute test a day, focusing on 97% accuracy.
  2. Week 2: alternate 3-minute and 5-minute tests.
  3. Week 3: one 10-minute test every other day; drill your weak keys on the days in between.
  4. Before the exam: take the matching exam simulator to practise the exact format.

Your speed chart shows where you slowed down. Most people dip around minutes six to eight. That's the part to train.

Frequently asked questions

Who should take a 10 minute typing test?

Anyone preparing for a long typing exam, such as many government skill tests that use a 10 or 15 minute passage, or anyone who wants to build serious typing stamina.

How do I avoid getting tired during a long test?

Sit with your feet flat, keep your wrists level and loose, and type at about 90% of your maximum speed. Short daily practice sessions build stamina faster than occasional long ones.

Is there an exam-style version with a separate passage box?

Yes. The exam simulators show the passage above a typing box, as many official tests do, and score full and half mistakes. See the Exam & Job Tests section.
