Build speed from accuracy
Typing speed improves when the fingers know the keys and the mind stops worrying about each letter. If accuracy is poor, increasing speed only increases mistakes.
Use a daily routine: warm-up, slow clean passage, timed passage and error review. This is more reliable than random long typing.
Hindi and English typing strategy
If the exam requires Hindi typing, practice the required keyboard layout early. Hindi typing can be difficult if candidates change layout close to the test.
For English typing, focus on capitalization, punctuation, spacing and common government vocabulary used in test passages.
