This typing test on Smart Cities is designed to match the format and difficulty of the actual SSC CHSL skill test. The passage contains 160 words of standard English text suitable for government examination preparation. Regular practice with varied topics builds the adaptability needed to handle any passage in the real exam.
The SSC CHSL typing test is a qualifying skill test conducted after the Tier I and Tier II written examinations. For LDC and JSA posts, candidates must type at 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi. For DEO posts, the requirement is 8000 key depressions per hour. The test is conducted on computers at SSC examination centres using standard keyboards.
Start by learning touch typing if you currently type by looking at the keyboard. Practice for at least 30 minutes daily with timed passages like this one. Focus on building accuracy first and speed will follow naturally. Use online tools that track your WPM and error rate to monitor progress. Familiarise yourself with different keyboard types as the exam centre keyboard may feel different from your practice keyboard.
The most common errors in typing tests include spelling mistakes, skipping words, adding extra spaces, incorrect capitalisation, and missing punctuation. Read each line carefully before typing and maintain a steady rhythm rather than typing in bursts. Avoid looking at the keyboard while typing as this significantly slows down your speed. Regular practice with diverse passages helps reduce errors and builds confidence for the actual examination.
