How Scoring Works

SSC CGL Tier 2 DEST evaluates candidate typing accuracy based on standard evaluation model. Mistakes are classified into Full Errors (omission, substitution, or addition of words) and Half Errors (spelling typos, casing errors, extra spacing). Total Error Percentage = (Full Errors + Half Errors / 2) / Total Words * 100.

Practice Tips

  • ›Maintain a steady rhythm of ~27 WPM to reach 2,000 key depressions well within 15 minutes.
  • ›UR candidates get 20% error tolerance for General DEST and 5% for Tax Assistant & ASO posts—prioritize steady accuracy.
