How the score works
Marks come off for every mistake that gets counted. What is left is your score for that language. Speed on its own does not carry the attempt. After the test you can see which mistakes counted and what each one took off. The score cannot fall below zero.
Typing tips
Keep typing when you slip. Correction keys behave the way the table above describes, so stopping to fight one word costs you more than the word is worth. Check the result screen afterwards to see what actually went wrong.
- Under this scheme, 180 correct English words or 144 correct Hindi words reach the 9-mark threshold. Keep typing correctly because marks continue to the 25-mark cap.
- This page only drills the passage-typing section. Any separate Phase-II efficiency component in your notice needs practice elsewhere.
How to practise for the RSMSSB LDC typing test
This preset scores marks rather than raw WPM. Over ten minutes it awards 0.05 marks per correct English word and 0.0625 per correct Hindi word, capped at 25 marks, with a 9-mark practice threshold. That threshold works out to 180 correct English words or 144 correct Hindi words; the cap sits at 500 correct English words or 400 correct Hindi words.
As arithmetic: 200 correct English words earn 10 marks, while the same 200 correct Hindi words earn 12.5. That is how the configured scale behaves, not an independent statement of current recruitment rules. An attempt that just clears the threshold and one that reaches the cap need different next steps.
After a passage, work out which words fell short of the cap and why. Running out of time points to pacing drills. Mismatches that removed words you had already typed correctly point to accuracy drills on the specific error. Neither case is answered by more raw speed practice.
Give any separate efficiency or formatting task its own session in the software it names. The Hindi preset uses DevLys 010, and a font name alone does not settle every input setting, so confirm the keyboard, timing and complete Phase-II instructions for your recruitment before treating these draft settings as a mock.
Keyboard layouts
English practice uses QWERTY. For Hindi you can pick DevLys 010 (Remington). Check the layout named in your own exam notice before learning the keys.

Is this an official result?
What targets does this practice test use?
The practice threshold is 9 marks in both languages. The ceiling is 25 marks under RSSB's mark-per-word scheme. English uses QWERTY. Hindi uses DevLys 010.
How do correction keys work here?
Backspace and the other editing keys stay enabled throughout. That differs from several other profiles on this site. It is a simulator choice, not a confirmed RSSB editing rule.
Are these settings confirmed for my recruitment?
The mark-per-word figures come from a draft speed-section reading. The wider Phase-II format has not been separately confirmed. That includes any efficiency component. Check the active RSSB notice before relying on this as a full mock.

Source note
Last checked 2026-07-16. RSSB's mark-per-word scheme is unusual enough that it's worth spelling out exactly: 0.05 marks per correct English word, 0.0625 per correct Hindi word, both capped at 25 marks with a 9-mark practice threshold, typed in DevLys 010. What this draft speed section doesn't cover is the rest of Phase-II — any separate efficiency or computer-skills component needs checking against the active RSSB notice on its own.
