The SSC CHSL 2025 notice sets the LDC/JSA typing test at 10 minutes, with 35 words per minute in English or 30 in Hindi (about 10,500 and 9,000 key depressions per hour). This mode times you for 10 minutes and shows both figures.

## How to use it

1. Pick English or Hindi, the medium you chose in the SSC application.
2. Type the passage for 10 minutes. Turn off Backspace for stricter practice.
3. Check key depressions per hour and the words-per-minute figure against 35 (English) or 30 (Hindi).

## Details

- **Format:** SSC CHSL 2025 notice, para 13.8.13.7: LDC/JSA typing test, 10 minutes (15 for scribe-eligible candidates), English 35 w.p.m. or Hindi 30 w.p.m.
- **Conversion:** 35 w.p.m. ≈ 10,500 key depressions per hour; 30 w.p.m. ≈ 9,000 (5 key depressions per word, SSC typing instructions)
- **Data entry:** DEO skill tests are separate: 8,000 or 15,000 key depressions per hour over 15 minutes, per the same notice
- **Scoring:** Word by word against the passage. Net WPM = correct words ÷ minutes, Gross WPM = typed words ÷ minutes, Accuracy = Net ÷ Gross (the CPCT formula)

## Questions

### Is the SSC typing test qualifying?

Yes. The 2025 CHSL notice describes the skill and typing tests as qualifying in nature, evaluated by the Commission's published guidelines.

### Does this score exactly like SSC?

No. SSC evaluates errors by its own guidelines (full and half mistakes). This practice mode counts correct words and their key depressions, which is a close, honest estimate of your speed, not an official score.

### How long is the CGL DEST?

The CGL Data Entry Speed Test has its own rules in the CGL notice. Use the 15-minute time setting to practise a longer test, and check the current notice for the required key depressions.

### Where can I read the official rules?

On ssc.gov.in: the CHSL notice for your year (section 13.8.13 in 2025) and the typing test instructions for candidates.
