Why 15 Minutes?
Fifteen minutes isn't an arbitrary length — it's the exact duration of SSC CGL's DEST and MP CPCT's typing test. Practising the full fifteen is the only way to find out whether your speed and accuracy hold once fatigue sets in, which is where most candidates actually lose marks. Short bursts flatter you; a quarter of an hour tells the truth.
It tracks gross WPM, net WPM after mistakes, key depressions and full/half mistake counts, so you can see exactly where a long session starts to slip.
When you want a scored verdict against a specific exam, use the SSC CGL DEST mock or the CPCT typing test instead — both apply the real pass criteria. Convert your numbers with the KDPH calculator.

SSC CGL DEST runs for 15 minutes (2,000 key depressions), and CPCT's typing test is also 15 minutes. This general 15-minute test is good endurance practice for both; for exact scoring use the dedicated SSC CGL or CPCT tests.
SSC CGL DEST expects about 2,000 key depressions in 15 minutes — roughly 400 words, an effective ~27 WPM. CPCT bands go higher. Use the KDPH calculator to convert your own numbers.

Accuracy — always. Over 15 minutes small error rates compound, and every government typing test caps your permissible error percentage. Hold accuracy, then push speed.
