Disclaimer
Last updated: 31 August 2026
This page sets out the limits of what Ninja Typing is and what a score measured here actually means. Most of it reduces to one point: this is an independent practice site with no connection to any examination authority or employer, and a result here is a practice result with no official standing.
General information only
The tests, passages, guides and reference material on ninjatyping.com are provided for general practice and educational purposes. We work to keep exam formats, figures and guidance accurate, and the standards we hold ourselves to are set out in full in the editorial policy. Even so, we make no representation or warranty of any kind as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability of anything here for any purpose. Any reliance you place on it is strictly at your own risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of this site, including any decision taken on the basis of a result measured here. If something on the site turns out to be wrong, the remedy we can offer is to correct it, which we do promptly and without argument.
No affiliation with any examination authority or employer
Ninja Typing is an independent website. We are not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or connected in any way to the Staff Selection Commission, the Railway Recruitment Boards, CPCT, DSSSB, UPSSSC, any High Court, or any other government department or examination authority. Nor are we connected to any hospital, law firm, accountancy practice, contact centre or other employer named or described anywhere on this site.
Exam names and organisation names are used descriptively, to identify the format a test replicates or the kind of work a passage is drawn from. That use implies no relationship, sponsorship or approval in either direction.
In practical terms, this is what the lack of affiliation means for you:
- We cannot access, confirm or change anything about your real examination — your result, admit card, application, eligibility or centre. We have no channel to any authority and no visibility of their systems.
- We cannot tell you what an exam currently requires. The official notification governs. Where our page and the notification disagree, the notification is right and our page is wrong, and we would like to hear about it.
- We do not issue certificates and no result here has official standing. A site charging you for a certificate on a test of this kind is worth treating with suspicion.
- We do not recruit. We pass no details to employers and have no commercial relationship with any company named on the site.
The practice passages are original and fictional
Every passage on this site was written for it. None is an extract from a real record, document or file, and none was copied from another source.
That matters most on the professional tests, where the text is deliberately realistic. The medical and transcription passages contain invented patient names, ages, dates and record numbers. The legal passages contain invented parties, case numbers and citations. The accounting passages contain invented account numbers, invoice references and figures. The corporate passages contain invented customers, ticket numbers and companies. None of it describes a real person, matter, transaction or organisation, and any resemblance to one is entirely coincidental.
The passages are written to be realistic in vocabulary, register and structure, because that is the entire point of a subject-specific typing test. They are not written to be correct as medicine, law or accountancy, and they have not been reviewed by a clinician, a lawyer or an accountant. Their only job is to put the right kind of characters under your fingers.
Nothing here is professional advice
It follows from the section above, but it is worth stating on its own. Nothing on this site constitutes medical, clinical, legal, financial, accounting, career or employment advice. A passage describing a course of treatment, a contractual term or a depreciation method is typing practice and nothing more. It should not be relied on for any purpose beyond typing it, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
Why your score here may differ from an official one
This is the question we are asked about most, so it is worth answering properly rather than with a single sentence of boilerplate. Two scoring methods run on this site, and both are described on the pages that use them:
- The government exam method counts whole correct words and divides by the minutes elapsed. A word is either correct or it is not — one wrong character costs the entire word, however long it was.
- The standard five-character method treats every five characters typed as one word, then deducts one whole five-character word for each word you mistyped. Long words are worth more under this method than under the first.
Neither is more correct than the other. They are different conventions, and a page uses whichever one matches what it is replicating. Beyond the formula, several further things move the number:
| Cause | Effect on the result |
|---|---|
| Which formula the test uses | Our government exam formats score whole correct words. Our other tests score characters divided by five and then deduct a full five-character word for each mistyped word. The same typing produces two different numbers under those two methods. |
| Whether backspace is available | Four of our formats disable it — SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, CPCT and High Court LDC — because those exams do. If the software you sit behaves differently, or the rule has changed since we last checked, the scores separate. |
| Keyboard layout | The same Hindi output requires different keystrokes in Mangal Inscript than in Krutidev. Practising on one and being tested on the other measures two different skills. |
| Device, browser and input method | Key repeat rates, input latency, on-screen keyboards, autocorrect and predictive text all change the result. Mobile scores in particular are not comparable to scores on a physical keyboard. |
| The passage itself | Difficulty is not uniform. A passage carrying more long words or more digits is slower to type at identical skill, and we cannot know how our text compares to the one you will be given. |
| Rounding | Speeds are rounded to the nearest whole word per minute, so a result can sit up to half a word either side of the exact figure. |
The practical conclusion is that a score here is a reliable way to track your own progress over time and an approximation of an official result — not a prediction of one. A good score on this site does not guarantee a passing result in any examination or job assessment.
What a result here does and does not tell you
Rather than leave that as an abstraction, here is the line we would draw between a fair reading of your result and an unfair one.
| Reasonable to conclude | Not reasonable to conclude |
|---|---|
| That your speed and accuracy on this kind of text, on this device, is roughly what the screen says | That you will produce the same number on unfamiliar hardware, a different layout, or under exam conditions |
| That you are improving, or are not, when you compare your own results over weeks on the same test | That the improvement transfers at the same rate to text you have never practised |
| That a format is or is not comfortable for you — no backspace, a fixed duration, heavy numeric content | That clearing a required speed here means you will clear it in the examination |
| That certain keys or words cost you consistently, which the result screen shows you directly | That the result carries any weight with an employer or examination body |
Typing speed figures quoted on this site
Where a page says that a role typically expects a given speed, that is a description of common employer practice, not a published standard. No professional or licensing body publishes a required typing speed for medical, legal, secretarial, accounting or contact centre work. Any site quoting an official figure for those roles has invented it. What we describe are conventions, they vary between employers, and an individual job advertisement overrides anything said here.
Government examination speeds are a different matter. Those come from official notifications and are cited on the pages that state them. They do change between recruitment cycles, and the notification that governs your attempt is the one issued for it.
Typing comfort and strain
Sustained typing, particularly at speed and in long sessions, can cause discomfort and can contribute to injury. Nothing on this site, including anything in our guides about posture, hand position or practice routines, is medical advice.
If typing causes you pain, numbness, tingling or persistent aching, stop and speak to a qualified professional rather than working through it. No target speed on this site is worth an injury, and there is no deadline here that cannot wait.
External links and advertising
This site links to external websites, including the official notifications and primary sources we cite. We do not control them and take no responsibility for their content, availability, privacy practices or accuracy. A link is a citation or a pointer, never an endorsement, and a page we linked to may since have changed or moved.
Ninja Typing is funded by advertising and displays ads served by Google AdSense and other partners. Those ads are selected automatically. We do not choose them, we do not review the products or services in them, and their appearance is not an endorsement or recommendation by us. No content on this site is sponsored, paid for, or written at an advertiser’s request, and there are no affiliate links. How advertising cookies are handled is set out in the privacy policy.
Errors and corrections
A site of this size, maintained by one person, will contain mistakes. The commitment we can make is not that there are none, but that we fix them quickly and do not defend them.
Confirmed factual errors — a wrong required speed, a wrong duration, a wrong backspace rule, a wrong figure — are corrected ahead of other work, because someone may be preparing for an examination on the strength of them. Where a correction changes the substance of a page rather than fixing a slip, the review date on that page is updated so the change is visible rather than silent. We do not quietly delete a page to make an error disappear.
You do not need to be certain and you do not need a source to report one. Checking it is our job. The contact page sets out what to include, and the editorial policy explains the standards behind all of this in more detail.
Changes to this disclaimer
We may update this page as the site changes. The date at the top reflects the most recent substantive revision, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms. This disclaimer should be read alongside our terms of use and privacy policy.
