EVALUATION SCHEME OF TYPING AND SHORTHAND TESTS

1. Evaluation Scheme of Typing Tests

a) If Time Allotted = 10 mins. and

b) Qualifying Speed = 30 WPM

c) Penalty for errors

(i) Errors Admissible =5% of total words typed.

(ii) Errors over and above admissible errors are penalised @ 10 strokes or 2 words per error

d) Formula for calculation of net speed:-

Net Speed= Gross Words-Penalty for Errors/Time = WPM

Example (1)

(i) If Total words Typed = 316

(ii) Total mistakes Committed = 23

(iii) Mistakes exempted @ 5% of total words typed = 16

(iv) Remaining mistakes = 07

(v) Penalty for Errors = 07 X 2 = 14

Net Speed = 316 – 14 /10= 30.2=30WPM

Example (2)

(i) If Total words Typed = 316

(ii) Total mistakes Committed = 30

(iii)Mistakes exempted @ 5% of total words typed = 16

(iv)Remaining mistakes = 14

(v) Penalty for Errors = 14 X 2 = 28

Net Speed = 316 –28/10 = 28.8= 29WPM

2. Evalauation Scheme of Stenography (shorthand tests)

i) Error Admissible= 5% of total words typed.

ii) For next 10 mistakes, half mark for each mistake to be deducted.

iii) For remaining other mistakes 1 mark for each mistake to be deducted.

iv) Qualifying marks = 60% of Maximum marks( as per DGET norms)

Example (1)

i) If Speed of Dictation/shorthand = 80 WPM

ii) Total Words Typed = 420

iii) Total Mistakes Committed = 34

iv) Mistakes Exempted @5% of total words typed = 21

v) Remaining Mistakes = 13

i.e. If total marks allotted = 50

Qualifying marks (60% of maximum marks) = 30
Total Mistakes Committed = 34
Mistakes exempted @5% of total words typed = 21
Remaining mistakes after exemption = 13
For remaining 10 mistakes, half mark for each mistake is deducted i.e. 10×1/2=5
For remaining (13-10=3) other mistakes 1 mark for each mistake is deducted i.e.=3×1=3
Total marks deducted =5+3=8
Total marks awarded= 50-8=42
Qualifying marks= 30
Result = Qualified

Example (2)

i) If Speed of Dictation/shorthand = 80 WPM

ii) Total Words Typed = 420

iii) Total Mistakes Committed = 54

iv) Mistakes Exempted @5% of total words typed = 21

v) Remaining Mistakes = 33

i.e. If total marks allotted = 50

Qualifying marks (60% of maximum marks) = 30
Total Mistakes Committed = 54
Mistakes exempted @5% of total words typed = 21
Remaining mistakes after exemption = 33
For remaining 10 mistakes, half mark for each mistake is deducted i.e. 10×1/2=5
For remaining(33-10=23) other mistakes 1 mark for each mistake is deducted 23×1=23
Total marks deducted = 5+23=28
Total marks awarded= 50-28=22
Qualifying marks= 30
Result =Not Qualified
