IV Criteria for Calculation of Typing Speed and ErrorA. The Criteria for evaluation of typing speed is illustrated below as –
Note: 1 word = 5 key strokes, 1 error = 5 key strokes.
Net Speed (WPM) = [(Gross Strokes - Error Hits) / 5] / Total Test Time (Min).
Duration: 10 min.
Gross Strokes = Total Stokes Typed in 10 Min. e.g. 2000.
Words Typed = (2000/5) = 400.
Gross Speed = 400/10 = 40 WPM.
18
B. Criteria for Calculation of Error
Mistakes / Error Stokes = 250.
Error Words = 250/5= 50.
Net Errors = 50/10 = 5 WPM.
Net Speed = 40 – 5 = 35 WPM.
Percentage of Error allowed -
i. Relaxation of 5% error for UR Category
ii. Relaxation of 7% error for other categories
