45-minute typing tests: near-exam simulation
The 45-minute typing test is one step below a full-hour examination and is used for simulation-based preparation for 60-minute formats. It is also used in some advanced stenography and professional transcription assessments.
Candidates preparing for one-hour typing examinations or 45-minute civil service language tests will find that this length reveals entirely different challenges from shorter tests. Attention drift, finger fatigue, and posture problems all compound significantly beyond the 30-minute mark. Practicing at 45 minutes regularly conditions your body and mind to treat this duration as comfortable rather than extreme.
Very hard difficulty: for advanced typists
Very hard typing tests use dense, complex text: long sentences with multiple clauses, rare vocabulary, heavy punctuation, numbers, and technical terminology. These passages are drawn from scientific literature, legal briefs, advanced academic writing, and technical documentation. They are designed for typists who already type 70+ WPM on medium text and want to push further.
The very hard level simulates the kind of text a court reporter, scientific transcriptionist, or parliamentary secretary encounters. The vocabulary is deliberately unpredictable — you cannot rely on word-shape recognition as much as you do on standard text, forcing letter-by-letter accuracy even at high speed.
