Points to note
- The instructions do not say how errors are counted or whether backspace works. This practice uses net speed the SSC way (5 characters per word, mistakes subtracted) and allows backspace.
- Other DSSSB posts can differ: the Urdu Academy Junior Assistant test (Post Code 59/24) is English only, from a printed passage. Check the instructions for your post code.
