Allahabad HC RO/ARO English Typing — The Real Rules
Review Officer / Assistant Review Officer’s typing test is longer and slower-paced than most — 20 minutes on a roughly 500-word passage, with a real marks floor (not just a merit-ranking input). Sourced from the official AHC RO/ARO Recruitment Rules.

How Mistakes Are Counted
50 marks total, 0.1 deducted per mistake — need at least 25/50 to qualify, and separately, 25 WPM. Both are independent requirements. No half-mistake category exists here: left-out words, spelling mistakes, and extra content are all full, equal mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What speed do I need for the AHC RO/ARO English typing test?
- 25 WPM minimum, in a 20-minute test on a roughly 500-word passage — longer and slower-paced than most other typing tests this site covers.
- How are marks calculated?
- 50 marks total, with 0.1 deducted per mistake — you need at least 25/50 to qualify. Unlike Junior Assistant’s English test, marks here are a real, separate pass/fail gate, not just a merit-ranking input — both the 25-mark floor AND 25 WPM have to clear.
- Is there a half-mistake category, like SSC’s typing rules?
- No — the source document lists left-out words, spelling mistakes, and extra content as full mistakes, with no half-mistake concept at all. Every deviation costs the same 0.1 marks.
- Can I use Backspace, and will typos show up in red as I type?
- Backspace is unlimited and has no penalty. But the screen doesn’t show your mistakes with red or green colors. You have to spot errors yourself, so Backspace only helps fix mistakes you notice.
- What happens if I type past the end of the passage?
- It’s ignored — the source document states words typed beyond the prescribed limit are simply not counted, unlike RRB’s rules, which expect you to retype the passage from the start if you finish early.
