GCC-TBC Marathi 30 WPM: instructions

1. This mock test follows the speed passage section of the GCC-TBC exam (Government Certificate in Computer Typing Basic Course, Maharashtra State Council of Examinations, Pune).
2. First you get a 3-minute trial passage to warm up. It is not marked.
3. After the trial, a 30-second countdown runs. You cannot type during it.
4. Then the 7-minute speed passage starts: 210 words, that is 30 words per minute. Type the whole passage before the time runs out.
5. Speed and accuracy are not shown while you type. Your marks and result appear at the end.
6. Each mistake takes off 1 mark out of 40: a spelling mistake, a word left out, a word that is not in the passage, and every word not typed (incomplete typing). 16 marks (40%) are needed to pass.
7. If you finish early, read your typing again and correct mistakes, then press Submit. When the time is over, the passage is submitted automatically.
8. The exam uses the Unicode Mangal font with the Remington layout (ISM). Here you type with the same key positions on an English (US) keyboard; no ISM software is needed. Keys such as the question mark and brackets are not used in Marathi and Hindi passages.

Don’ts

1. Don’t paste text or use shortcut keys. Paste is turned off.
2. Don’t press Enter at the end of each line: lines wrap by themselves.
3. Don’t add extra spaces between words. More than one extra space counts as a mistake.
