How the score works
Counted mistakes are taken off your total, and your speed comes from the words that are left. A full mistake counts as one and a half mistake counts as half. 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.
- Check each word before pressing Space. In this practice test, Backspace cannot take you back to an earlier word.
- Keep the same layout for lessons and timed practice. Changing layouts also changes where you find the characters.
Preparation guide
Before you start, see the SSC typing test hub to compare CHSL with CGL DEST and Stenographer. Read the scoring explanation to interpret your result, the typing speed guide if speed is the gap, and the 10-minute test for focused practice. For official speed, time and layout details, check the government typing test requirements.
Keyboard layouts
English practice uses QWERTY, and Hindi practice uses the layout shown in the table above. Check the layout named in your own exam notice before learning the keys.

Is this an official result?
Does this cover the DEO skill test?
No. This page covers LDC and JSA typing. The CHSL notice describes the separate DEO skill test in section 13.8.13.6 on page 19.
What if I am eligible for extra time?
The cited notice gives eligible candidates five extra minutes, for a total of 15. The practice links on this page open the standard 10-minute test. Check the eligibility conditions in your notice.
Are these the official error cutoffs?
No. The 7% and 10% limits are configuration choices this app currently uses. They were not part of the duration-and-speed check above. SSC publishes its own cutoff and evaluation rules for each recruitment cycle. Use those rules for your exam.
Can I use the Windows app?
Yes. The Windows app can use downloaded passages offline. The same paid activation code works on the website and in the app.

Source note
Last checked 2026-09-07. On 7 September 2026, we checked the duration and speed targets against the SSC CHSL 2025 notice, section 13.8.13.7, pages 19-20. We did not use that check to verify the app's error limits, editing restrictions or layout choices. Check your recruitment cycle's instructions for those details.
