Passage 1

The Border Security Force recruits Head Constable (Ministerial) candidates who can demonstrate
consistent typing accuracy at moderate speed. To help you prepare, this practice passage contai
ns approximately three hundred and fifty words—roughly the length you will encounter in the off
icial ten■minute typing test. Focus on rhythm rather than haste; fluency always trumps frantic
keystrokes. Keep your wrists level, let your elbows hover comfortably, and breathe. Accuracy bu
ilds confidence, and confidence unlocks speed. A calm mind notices patterns: recurring articles
, familiar prepositions, and predictable punctuation. Once you feel those patterns, the sentenc
es flow naturally and your fingers glide. Remember to glance at the screen just often enough to
correct errors before they snowball. That single habit alone can save precious seconds and doz
ens of corrections. Finally, visualise success: picture the proctor announcing the start, the s
teady clack of keyboards around you, and then the quiet satisfaction of finishing with time to
spare. Practise this passage until you reach thirty■five words per minute or better while holdi
ng errors below the required threshold.

Passage 2

Every capable typist understands that mastery is not a sudden leap but a staircase of small, de
liberate improvements. Begin by eliminating forceful key presses; gentle taps conserve energy d
uring a prolonged test. Next, internalise the full layout of the keyboard. Close your eyes and
imagine the positions of Q, P, Z, and M. Can you feel your fingers hover over the home row? If
that picture is vivid, your muscles will respond faster under exam pressure. On test day, adopt
a steady tempo akin to a ticking clock. Resist the temptation to sprint. Even seasoned profess
ionals lose accuracy when they accelerate abruptly. If you stumble on an unfamiliar word, do no
t freeze; continue typing the remaining text and return later if time permits. The scoring algo
rithm counts every correct stroke, so forward momentum is your ally.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Passage 3

Confidence in typing, like confidence in any craft, flourishes when practice sessions imitate r
eal conditions. Therefore, arrange your desk to mimic the examination hall. Sit upright, positi
on the monitor at eye level, and place both feet flat on the ground. Limiting distractions will
sharpen your concentration. While training, enable an on■screen timer but hide statistics such
as words■per■minute until you finish; constant numerical feedback can disrupt natural rhythm.
After each session, study your error log. Do certain letter pairs cause consistent trouble? Tar
get those weaknesses with focused drills. Over several days, you will notice tangible gains not
only in speed but also in poise. When the actual BSF Head Constable (Ministerial) test arrives
, you will greet it as a familiar routine rather than an intimidating hurdle.
