State Secretariat LDC Typing Test Preparation
Quick answer: State Secretariat LDC typing tests commonly run 10 minutes at around 30 WPM English or 25 WPM Hindi — one of the more moderate speed requirements on this site. Since exact rules vary by state board, treat 30/25 WPM as the speed floor to clear comfortably and confirm your own state's published rules before your exam.

| Test duration | 10 minutes. |
|---|---|
| English target | Commonly around 30 WPM — roughly 300 words to sustain. |
| Hindi target | Commonly around 25 WPM, in Mangal Inscript, Mangal Remington, or Kruti Dev 010. |
| Scoring rule | Net WPM after full and half mistakes — this site's standard practice scoring model, applied since exact error caps vary by state board. |
| Editing | Backspace corrects only the word currently being typed. |
This is a generic state clerical profile (commonly ~30 WPM English / 25 WPM Hindi). Confirm the specific state board's typing rules before use — this is a reasonable default, not a fixed national standard.
What to practise first
Because this is a generic profile covering many state secretariats, your first job is confirming what your specific state actually requires — duration, speed and layout can all differ from the 30/25 WPM default used here. Once confirmed, build a steady, error-free pace rather than chasing extreme speed.
- Check your specific state's published clerical recruitment notice for exact duration and speed.
- Run a five-minute session and note your net WPM after mistakes.
- Spend the next session eliminating your two most frequent error patterns before adding speed.
- Finish with a full 10-minute attempt and compare against 30 (English) or 25 (Hindi) WPM.
A practical 10-day preparation plan
| Days 1–2 | 20 minutes daily: layout warm-up and slow, error-free typing. |
|---|---|
| Days 3–5 | 25 minutes daily: two 5-minute passages, reviewing every repeated mistake afterward. |
| Days 6–8 | 25 minutes daily: one full 10-minute attempt, plus a short drill on your weakest words. |
| Days 9–10 | One calm full attempt, then light revision only — no new layouts this close to the exam. |

Worked example: at the common 30 WPM English target over 10 minutes, that's around 300 words to sustain — one of the more moderate speed requirements on this site. Confirm your own state's published rules before your exam, since exact error caps aren't fixed for this generic profile.
Common reasons candidates miss the standard
- Not confirming their specific state's actual typing rules, and relying on the generic 30/25 WPM default instead.
- Switching Hindi layouts in the final week instead of settling on one early.
- Chasing higher speed than needed instead of building a stable, error-free pace at 30/25 WPM.
- Assuming a fixed error cap exists nationally, when in practice it varies by state board.
