Expert strategies to improve your typing speed and accuracy for PSSSB exam success

Essential Typing Tips for PSSSB Exam

Master these proven techniques to achieve 35 WPM with 94% accuracy in your PSSSB typing test.

👆

Proper Finger Placement

Always keep your fingers on the home row keys (ASDF JKL;). Use all fingers for typing, not just 2-3 fingers. This is the foundation of fast typing.

👀

Touch Typing

Learn to type without looking at the keyboard. Focus on the screen and trust your muscle memory. This significantly increases speed and accuracy.

Rhythm and Flow

Maintain a consistent rhythm while typing. Don't rush or type too slowly. Consistent pace helps maintain accuracy while building speed gradually.

🎯

Accuracy First

Focus on 100% accuracy first, then gradually increase speed. It's easier to build speed on accurate typing than to fix accuracy on fast typing.

💺

Proper Posture

Sit straight with feet flat on floor. Keep elbows at 90-degree angle. Position monitor at eye level. Good posture reduces fatigue and improves speed.

🔄

Practice 30-60 minutes daily. Consistency is more important than long irregular sessions. Daily practice builds muscle memory effectively.
