What is a 35 WPM Typing Test?

A 35 WPM typing test measures whether you can type English text at 35 words per minute with 95% accuracy — the exact bar set by SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, SBI and RBI Assistant skill tests. Most candidates who fail these tests are disqualified on accuracy, not speed, so our test reports both your WPM and your accuracy percentage.
