What is the difference between SSC CGL DEST and SSC CHSL typing tests?

SSC CGL Tier 2 DEST requires 2,000 Key Depressions in 15 minutes (~27 WPM). Maximum permissible error tolerance for General (UR) candidates is 20% for standard DEST (5% for Tax Assistant/CPT posts), 25% for OBC/EWS, and 30% for SC/ST/PwBD candidates.

Is backspace allowed in SSC CGL and CHSL typing tests?

Yes. Both SSC CGL DEST and SSC CHSL typing tests support unrestricted backspace and arrow key navigation within the paragraph during the active session.

How does SSC calculate Full Errors and Half Errors?

Full Errors (omitted words, substituted words, extra added words) deduct 1 full word penalty. Half Errors (spelling typos, spacing errors, wrong casing, punctuation errors) deduct 0.5 word penalty. Total Errors = Full Errors + (Half Errors / 2).

Standard SSC Full & Half Error Scoring Model

Staff Selection Commission skill tests utilize a specialized evaluation model separating mistakes into Full Errors and Half Errors:

Full Errors (1 Word Penalty): Omission of a word or figure, substitution of a word, or addition of an extra word not present in the master text.
Half Errors (0.5 Word Penalty): Spelling errors (single-letter typos), spacing errors (missing or extra space between words), wrong letter capitalization, or punctuation errors.
Error Calculation Formula: Total Errors = Full Errors + (Half Errors / 2). Total Error Percentage = (Total Errors / Total Words in Passage) × 100.
