About the SSC CHSL Typing Test
The SSC CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level) typing test is a skill test conducted for candidates who qualify the written examination. It applies to posts of Lower Division Clerk (LDC) and Court Clerk. The typing test is qualifying in nature — you either pass or fail, and the score does not affect your final merit ranking.
The exam is conducted by the Staff Selection Commission annually for 12th-pass candidates. After clearing Tier-I (CBE) and Tier-II (descriptive paper), candidates are called for the typing skill test at designated exam centers.

Tips for SSC CHSL Typing Test Day
- Accuracy is everything — With backspace disabled, every error permanently reduces your Net WPM. Type carefully.
- Practice without backspace daily — Train your muscle memory to type correctly the first time rather than relying on corrections.
- Maintain a steady rhythm — Aim for consistent 35+ WPM throughout rather than fast bursts followed by pauses.
- Choose your stronger language — If you are equally comfortable in both, English passages tend to have simpler vocabulary.
- Ignore minor errors and keep going — Since you cannot correct mistakes, dwelling on them wastes time. Move forward and maintain speed.
