7 simple habits to increase your typing speed for government exams

Most typing tests for government jobs ask for 25–35 words per minute in English and 20–30 in Hindi. These habits help you reach that speed with good accuracy.

1. Keep your fingers on the home row

Left hand on A S D F, right hand on J K L ;. Every other key is one step away.

2. Do not look at the keyboard

Look at the passage, not your hands. It feels slow for a week, then your speed jumps.

3. Accuracy first, speed second

Most exams cut marks for every mistake. Type a little slower and make fewer errors.

4. Practise every day

Twenty minutes daily beats two hours once a week.

5. Practise in the exam pattern

Use the same time, passage length and rules as your exam — TypeToPass has exam-wise mock tests.

6. Review your mistakes

After each test look at the wrong and missed words and practise them.

7. Take a full-length test every week

Build the stamina to type for 10–15 minutes without a break.
