Delhi High Court Typing Test Preparation
Quick answer: The Delhi High Court JJA/Restorer typing test is a 10-minute English test with two conditions that must both hold: your gross speed must reach 40 WPM, and your error rate must stay under 3%. A fast attempt that blows past 3% errors still fails, no matter how high the WPM.

JJA/Restorer typing test: 10-minute English typing at 40 WPM with a 3% error cap. Confirm the current official notification before your exam — rules can change between cycles.
What to practise first
Because speed and accuracy are separate hurdles here, hitting 40 WPM alone isn't enough — and neither is staying under 3% errors at a crawl. You need both at once, so train them together rather than one after the other.
- Run a timed five-minute passage and separately note your gross WPM and your error percentage.
- If your errors are over 3%, slow down slightly and focus on your two most frequent mistake types.
- If your WPM is under 40 but errors are low, push pace gradually rather than in one big jump.
- Finish with a full 10-minute attempt checking that both conditions hold at once.
A practical 12-day preparation plan
| Days 1–3 | 20 minutes daily: slow, accurate typing to build a base under 3% errors before chasing speed. |
|---|---|
| Days 4–6 | 25 minutes daily: two 5-minute passages, tracking WPM and error rate separately each time. |
| Days 7–9 | 25 minutes daily: one full 10-minute attempt, checking both the 40 WPM and 3% conditions together. |
| Days 10–12 | Two full attempts per session, then a final calm attempt with light revision only. |
How to use the free Delhi High Court simulator
Open the Delhi High Court typing test page and run the 10-minute English format. After each attempt, check both your gross WPM against 40 and your error rate against 3% — remember half mistakes (spacing, punctuation, capitalisation) count for less than a full mistake, but they still add up.
Worked example: a 3% error cap on a 400-word attempt allows roughly 12 error units. Type 420 words with 10 error units and your error rate is 10/420 ≈ 2.4% — under the cap — while your speed of 420 ÷ 10 = 42 WPM clears the floor too. Both conditions have to hold at once.
Common reasons candidates miss the standard
- Hitting 40 WPM but drifting past the 3% error cap in the rush to finish.
- Typing carefully enough to stay under 3% errors but too slowly to clear 40 WPM.
- Underestimating how quickly half-mistakes (spacing, punctuation, capitalisation) accumulate toward the cap.
- Not tracking WPM and error rate separately during practice, so one condition slips unnoticed.
