10 Minute Typing Test
The 600 second typing test used by the SSC CHSL exam for LDC and JSA posts, and by many state government and banking data entry assessments. Ten minutes is the threshold where typing speed, accuracy, and endurance are all tested simultaneously — short enough to remain focused, long enough to reveal your sustainable real-world pace.
Practising at this exact duration is the single most effective way to prepare for exams that use 10 minute windows. Your net WPM and accuracy are tracked in real time. No account required — your personal best is saved automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good score on a 10 minute typing test?
A good 10 minute typing test score reflects true, sustainable typing ability. Beginners typically average 20–35 WPM over 10 minutes, office workers 40–55 WPM, and proficient typists 60–80 WPM. Anything above 60 WPM sustained over 10 minutes is considered professionally strong. The SSC CHSL typing exam uses a 10 minute window and requires 35 WPM — meaning you need a practice score of 40+ WPM to clear it comfortably under exam pressure.
Which exams use a 10 minute typing test?
The SSC CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level) typing test for LDC and JSA posts runs for 10 minutes and requires 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi. Several state government secretariat exams and banking data entry tests also use 10 minute windows. If you are preparing for any of these, practising at the exact 10 minute duration is essential — your body and concentration need to be conditioned to this specific length.
How is a 10 minute typing test WPM calculated?
WPM (words per minute) is calculated as: (total correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed. One 'word' is defined as five keystrokes regardless of actual word length — this standardises scoring across different texts. Net WPM additionally subtracts a penalty for uncorrected errors (usually one word per error). The 10 minute format gives you a large character sample, making the score highly reliable and directly comparable to official exam results.
How do I build up to typing for 10 minutes straight?
Build up gradually: start with daily 2 minute sessions, add a minute every three days until you reach 10 minutes. Focus on keeping your error rate below 3% rather than chasing speed — errors cost more at this duration. After each session, check TypingProo's keyboard heatmap to identify which keys are slowing you down and drill them specifically. For exam prep, aim for a consistent 40+ WPM practice score so the official 35 WPM requirement feels comfortable on test day.
