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. You can go through the counted mistakes and the deductions on the result screen. The score cannot fall below zero.
Typing tips
If you make a mistake, keep going. 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.
- Read the mistake count and resulting mark separately from the speed target.
- Use new passages to check consistency. Then read the current notice for qualification and shortlisting conditions.
How to practise for the Supreme Court JCA typing test
Write the amount of text entered, the error result and the displayed marks on separate lines after each attempt, and read each against the practice model. A mark threshold and a speed threshold answer different questions, so do not stop at the green indicator or at a speed that happens to clear 35 WPM.
For accuracy, copy the line "Item 17: Ms Das submitted two copies of Form C." Replacing "two" with "2" keeps the meaning but changes the supplied text, which is exactly the kind of edit a copying task counts against you. Compare your version with the source before you look at the speed.
Then take an unfamiliar passage for a full attempt. If that result is weaker than one from a passage you have half memorised, keep both and label the repeat.
The app uses ten minutes, a 35 WPM English target, a 1,750-keystroke minimum, a 3% maximum-error setting and a configured 50-mark scale. The source note records 43.18 marks at three mistakes as the 2025 shortlisting benchmark, which is context for that year rather than a prediction of the next cutoff. Use your result to find mistakes, then consult the active notice for qualification and shortlisting.

What this test is and is not
What typing speed is required for Supreme Court JCA?
35 words per minute in English, typed for 10 minutes, with mistakes allowed up to 3% of the words to be typed. The same 35 wpm is also an essential qualification for the post. This practice test uses those settings.
How do correction keys work here?
Only the word you are typing can be corrected with Backspace. Nothing else can be changed. This is how the simulator is built. It is separate from whatever editing latitude the real 2025 JCA test gave candidates.
Does this result establish official qualification?
No. The marks-by-mistake table above (50 down to 25) is what the Registry published for 2025. A attempt here only shows how many whole mistakes you would log against that same scale.
Practice tool, not an official result — always check the current notification. Full disclaimer.
Source note
Last checked 2026-09-14 against the Supreme Court JCA advertisement of 4 February 2025: typing (English) test on computer, 10 minutes, minimum 35 wpm, mistakes allowed up to 3% of total words to be typed. The typing test result of 14 July 2025 called candidates with 43.18 or more marks out of 50 to the descriptive test. The 1,750-keystroke minimum and the marks-by-mistake table come from an earlier check and were not in these two documents. A 2025 cut-off doesn't predict the next one.
