Tips, strategies, and expert guides to help you qualify SSC typing tests faster
Exam day is different. No matter how much you practice at home, the actual exam centre throws new things at you. Different keyboard. Cold room. Strange chair height. People typing loudly around you. And a timer that feels like it is going twice as fast as normal.
I know how it feels. You sit down to practice typing. You type for 20 minutes. Next day same thing. But your speed is not going up. It stays stuck at 28 or 30 WPM and you don't know why.
I failed the SSC CGL typing test in my first attempt. Not because I was slow. I was typing at 38 WPM consistently in my room, every single day for two months. But on the actual exam day, something happened. My hands felt stiff, the keyboard was different, the room was cold, and I could see other people typing and I just panicked. I submitted with 31 WPM. One mark below qualifying.
When I first read about the SSC CHSL typing test I thought it would be easy. It is just typing, right? How hard can it be?
