Hindi typing test

How the score is worked out

Typing exams count a word as five keystrokes, so speed is the number of keystrokes divided by five, divided by the minutes. Gross WPM ignores mistakes, and net WPM subtracts them, which is why a fast but sloppy run can score lower than a steady accurate one. Accuracy is the share of what you typed that matched the passage. Check what your exam actually counts, because some use a different error rule.

You can type with Inscript, Remington or any Hindi keyboard you already use. If you have none, phonetic mode converts English letters to Hindi when you press space, so you can still practise reading and accuracy, though phonetic speed does not match a real keyboard layout.

Practice that raises your score

Short, regular sessions beat long ones. Spend your first sessions on accuracy at a comfortable pace, because mistakes cost more than the time saved by rushing. Once errors are low, increase speed in small steps. Keep your wrists relaxed, look at the passage and not the keys, and take a break when your accuracy starts to fall.
