Typing Accuracy
Number of Errors
Gross Speed
Net Speed

Candidates with higher accuracy generally perform better even if their speed is slightly lower.

Preparation Tips

Practice on a real keyboard layout daily. Since the test is conducted on computer with a fixed passage, get comfortable with typing continuous prose without looking at the keys.
Prioritize accuracy over raw speed. Because marks are deducted per error, a slower but error-free attempt often scores better than a fast but sloppy one.
Type legal and formal-style paragraphs. Court typing tests often use passages with formal vocabulary, so practicing with legal/official language builds familiarity with punctuation-heavy sentences.
Simulate exam conditions. Practice 10-minute timed tests without pausing, exactly as the real test will be conducted, to build stamina and pacing.
Track your net speed, not gross speed. Net speed accounts for errors, so always calculate (correct words typed ÷ time) rather than just total words typed.
Prepare for shorthand separately (Stenographer post). If you're applying for Stenographer Grade III, allocate dedicated practice time to shorthand dictation and transcription, since it is scored independently of the typing test.
Use full-length mock tests regularly on a platform like AI Typing Guru to track your progress against the 30 w.p.m. English benchmark before the real exam.

Selection Process Note

The Allahabad High Court Stenographer/Category 'C' recruitment generally follows these stages:

Written Examination (objective, covering General Studies, Hindi/English Language, and Mathematics)
Typing Test (Hindi and English, on computer) — and for Stenographer specifically, a Shorthand/Stenography Test
Document Verification
Final Merit List / Appointment

Only candidates who qualify the written exam are called for the typing and stenography tests, and only those who meet both the speed and marks criteria in these skill tests proceed further. Always refer to the official Allahabad High Court recruitment notification for the specific cycle you are applying to, as exact word counts, timings, and qualifying marks may be revised.
