This typing test passage on Women Empowerment has been designed to match the difficulty level and format of the actual SSC CGL Data Entry Speed Test. The passage contains 158 words with standard English vocabulary commonly found in government examination passages. Practising with diverse topics like Women Empowerment helps you build adaptability for whatever passage appears in the actual exam.
The Data Entry Speed Test is a qualifying module under Tier II of the SSC Combined Graduate Level examination. It is mandatory for Tax Assistant posts in CBDT and CBIC. Candidates are given a passage of approximately 2000 key depressions which must be typed within 15 minutes on a standard QWERTY keyboard. The test is conducted at SSC examination centres on desktop computers. Every key you press counts as one depression including alphabets, numbers, spacebar, shift, enter, and backspace.
The SSC classifies typing errors into two categories. Full mistakes carry a penalty of one error each and include omission of words, substitution of wrong words, addition of extra words, spelling errors, and incomplete words. Half mistakes carry a penalty of 0.5 errors and include spacing errors, wrong capitalisation, punctuation mistakes, word transposition, and paragraphic errors. Understanding these categories helps you focus on avoiding costly errors during the test.
The permissible error percentage varies by candidate category. Unreserved candidates are allowed up to 20 percent errors. OBC and EWS candidates are allowed up to 25 percent. SC, ST, and other reserved categories are allowed up to 30 percent errors. Exceeding these limits results in disqualification from the typing test regardless of your speed.
Start by reading the passage once before you begin typing to familiarise yourself with the content. Focus on accuracy rather than speed during your first few attempts. Gradually increase your typing speed as your error rate decreases. Practice regularly for at least 30 minutes daily over a period of two months before the examination. Use this tool to track your progress and identify areas where you need improvement.
