• 
  

  For example: For a Typing Test of 10 minutes 

  Total strokes typed  =1600
  Words typed  = 1600/5 = 320  (one word is equal to 5 strokes)
  Total mistakes  = 19
  Ignorable mistakes  = 5% of 320 = 16
  Net mistakes for evaluation  = 19-16 = 3
  Mistakes to be deducted for arriving at net words typed  = 320 – (3×10) = 290
  Net evaluated Speed :
  {No. of total words typed – (No. of net mistakes x 10) }/ Prescribed duration of test in minutes
  Evaluated Speed   = 290 / 10 = 29 words per minute
