How marking works
Every 5 keystrokes count as one word. A full mistake (omitted, substituted, added or misspelt word) costs 50 strokes; a half mistake (spacing, punctuation, capitalisation) costs 25.
Worked example at this exam's level: you type 2,625 strokes in 15 minutes, exactly 35 WPM gross. With 3 full and 2 half mistakes the penalty is 50 × 4.0 = 200 strokes, so net speed is (2,625 − 200) ÷ 5 ÷ 15 = 32.3 WPM. The threshold is 35 WPM, so this attempt falls short.
