After successfully clearing Tier 1 and Tier 2, depending on what posts you are applying for, the next step towards your job is to clear Computer Proficiency Test/Skill Test.

This is Tier 3 in the examination process.

In SSC CGL exam if you have qualified for CSS post then you will have to give a skill test called CPT (Computer Proficiency Test). And if someone qualifies for TAX ASSISTANT post of non-interview posts then he will be called for typing test.

CPT for CSS

It includes the test of following topics.

1. Typing Test @ 27 WPM --- {Time: 15 Minutes}
2. Spread Sheets (MS Excel Test) --- {Time: 15 Minutes}
3. Presentation Test (MS Power-point) --- {Time: 15 Minutes}

Typing Test for TAX ASSISTANT

It only includes a typing for 15 Minutes. And you will have to type the printed passage in the computer in 15 Minutes. That means 27 WPM speed.

Both the tests are qualifying in nature. You just have to pass them.

How to prepare Typing Test for both CSS & TA

1. It is always good to have separate keyboard if you have a laptop.

2. Use NOTEPAD/WORDPAD for typing practice as they are very similar to the typing software of SSC.

3. You can use any passage from kids books, magazine, newspaper or any other printed material for typing.

4. Make sure to type maximum words in 15 minutes only.

5. You can check your speed by copy-pasting the material you have typed in NOTEPAD into the MS WORD as it will tell you no. of words you have typed.

Just divide the no. of words by 15 as you have typed that material in 15 minutes. And in that way you will know you speed.

For Eg. If you have typed 370 words 15 minutes then your speed will be 450/15 = 30 WPM.
