How to prepare for the Railway typing test

  1. Choose the same language and Hindi layout named in your application or notice.
  2. Build clean, consistent typing before pushing beyond the target speed.
  3. Practise with editing keys locked so correction habits do not hide errors.
  4. Complete repeated 10-minute sessions and review every mistake afterward.

Practical target: Train slightly above the qualifying speed, but measure your progress using net speed and accuracy rather than raw keystrokes alone. The official instructions describe a one-minute warm-up, a 30-second break and a 10-minute evaluation session.
