Based on previous examinations (such as Post Code 13/20, 02/17, etc.), the standard marking formula used in the DSSSB typing test is given below:

Half Mistakes(0.5):-

1. Spacing errors (extra space or missing space)
2. Wrong capitalization (A instead of a)
3. Punctuation errors
4. Transposition of words (word order changed)Note: 2 Half Mistakes are considered equal to 1 Full Mistake.

Full Mistakes (1 mistake)

1. Wrong word typed
2. Omission of a word (word skipped)
3. Addition of extra word not present in passage
4. Spelling mistake
5. Repetition of a word
6. Incomplete word (half typed word)

Speed Calculation

1 Word = 5 Strokes (including space)
Gross Words = Total Strokes Typed ÷ 5
Gross Speed = Gross Words ÷ 10 minutes

Formula for Net Speed :

Net Speed = Gross Speed – (Total Full Mistakes ÷ 10)
