How to Prepare for a Government Typing Test

Updated 2026-10-16

1. Read your exam’s rules

Duration, language, keyboard layout, backspace and the error formula differ between exams — even those with the same WPM target. Open your exam on the exams page: we list the official notification, the verified rules and anything still unconfirmed.

2. Match the conditions

  • Practise on a physical keyboard similar to an exam-centre keyboard. Phone and tablet keyboards cannot reproduce exam conditions.
  • If backspace is disabled in your exam, practise the exam mock where it is disabled too.
  • For Hindi, practise the exact layout (Inscript or Remington Gail).

3. Two-month plan

  1. Weeks 1–2: lessons and accuracy. Reach 95% accuracy at any speed.
  2. Weeks 3–5: daily 5-minute tests, numbers and punctuation drills, weak-key practice.
  3. Weeks 6–8: three full exam mocks per week; track your readiness and error percentage.

4. Exam day

  • Use the practice window to check the keyboard and font.
  • Do not stop after a mistake; keep a steady rhythm.
  • Leave a few seconds at the end to check you completed the final word.
