15 Minute Typing Test

Fifteen-minute typing tests are used for SSC CGL DEST, SSC CHSL DEO and both sections of CPCT. They test stamina: many candidates who type 40 wpm for 5 minutes fall to 30 wpm by the end of 15 minutes.

How to use the 15 minute test

Use it to build stamina – keep your rhythm steady instead of sprinting at the start.

Your result shows gross and net speed, accuracy, key depressions per hour and the railway formula side by side, so you can compare your performance with any exam’s requirement. Every attempt is saved in My Results.
