Supreme Court Court Master Typing Test

About the test

Supreme Court Court Master Typing Test is conducted by Supreme Court of India. The typing component lasts 10 minutes and expects about 40 words per minute in English. Shorthand 120 WPM and typing 40 WPM in 10 minutes with at most 3% mistakes.

These 120 practice tests are modeled on the real format: the passage sits above a plain text box, there is no spell-check or highlighting while you type, and the timer runs exactly as it does in the exam hall. Backspace is allowed, as in the real software.

Use the tests to build the specific stamina and accuracy the exam rewards, then review the word-by-word report to see which mistakes cost you marks.

How it is scored

Shorthand 120 WPM and typing 40 WPM in 10 minutes with at most 3% mistakes.

Gross speed counts every character you type (five characters equal one word). Net speed subtracts mistakes: a wrong, omitted, added or misspelt word is a full mistake, and a capitalisation, spacing or punctuation slip is a half mistake. For example, typing 330 words in 10 minutes with 6 full and 4 half mistakes gives 330 minus 8, or 322 net words, which is 32 net words per minute. Error percentage (mistakes divided by words typed) must stay at or below 3%.

Who takes it and when

Candidates shortlisted from the earlier written or computer-based stages of the SCI Court Master recruitment take the typing test as a qualifying or scored skill test. Check the current notification for category-wise relaxations.

Cycles vary by year; the typing test is usually held a few weeks after the main examination results. Confirm dates in the official notification.

Preparation tips

• Practise with the same 10-minute duration and the same passage length (400 words) so your pace is calibrated to the real test.
• Correct mistakes immediately and sparingly; each correction costs about three keystrokes.
• Keep your eyes on the passage, not the keyboard, and read one or two words ahead of what you are typing.
• Match capitalisation, punctuation and spacing exactly; these count as half mistakes under the SSC-style rule.
• Aim for a practice speed about 10% above the 40 words per minute requirement so exam-day nerves do not push you below the line.
• Review the word-by-word report after every test and drill the words and keys you miss most.
