Which shift key should I use?

The opposite hand's shift: hold right shift for letters on the left side and left shift for letters on the right. Using the same hand twists the wrist and slows you down.

Why is punctuation slower?

Most punctuation sits on the pinky columns and often needs shift, so it breaks your rhythm. Repeated exposure is the only fix, which is exactly what this mode gives you.

Does this match exam passages?

Closely. Government and civil-service passages are full of commas, quotes and apostrophes, and SSC-style scoring treats punctuation errors as half mistakes.

Punctuation Typing Test

Capitals, commas, periods, question marks, quotation marks, brackets and apostrophes mixed into everyday words. Exams count a wrong comma as a half mistake, so this is worth drilling.
