Punjab and Haryana High Court Typing Skill Test Features
The Typing Skill Test evaluates a candidate's typing speed and accuracy in English. A unique aspect of the PHHC exam is its Paper-to-Screen mode, where candidates type from a physical printed sheet onto the computer.
- Typing Language: English Only
- Typing Speed: Minimum 30 Words Per Minute (WPM)
- Time Duration: 10 Minutes
- Passage Length: About 600 to 700 words printed on a physical paper.
- Typing Mode: Paper to Screen Mode (You will be given a printed sheet to read from).
- Backspace Rule: Unrestricted (You can use the backspace key as much as needed during the test).
Mathematical Formula for PHHC Error Calculation
Step 1 (Total Mistakes):Total_Mistakes = Number of Wrong Words
Step 2 (Correct Words):Correct_Words = Total_Words_Typed - Total_Mistakes
Step 3 (Net Speed):Net_WPM = Correct_Words / 10 Minutes
Calculating Your Score
If you type 400 words in 10 minutes, but make 20 mistakes:
- ✓ Correct Words: 400 - 20 = 380 Words
- ✓ Net Typing Speed: 380 / 10 Minutes = 38 WPM
- 🏆 Result: Since 38 WPM is greater than the required 30 WPM, you are QUALIFIED!
PHHC Paper-to-Screen Typing Strategy
Important- Keep Your Eyes on the Paper: In a paper-to-screen test, frequently looking down at the keyboard or up at the monitor will break your focus and slow you down. Try to keep your eyes locked on the physical paper.
- Use a Ruler or Finger: It is very easy to skip a line when reading from a dense printed sheet. Use your finger or a ruler to track which line you are currently typing.
- Mock PHHC passages are available on the AR Typing Platform. You can print them out and simulate the paper-to-screen environment perfectly.
Thumb Rule:
Candidates must practice regularly on software that simulates exam-like conditions. Practicing exclusively on screen-to-screen typing software will leave you unprepared for the unique challenges of the PHHC paper-to-screen format.
Benefits of Using AR Typing Platform
- True Exam Interface: The AR Typing Platform offers a typing interface designed exactly like your real exams, giving you a competitive edge.
- Strict Evaluation: The strict word-to-word error calculation helps you gauge exactly where you stand against the official SSSC grading criteria.
