In the source's own words
“Minimum speed 40 words per minute (Mistakes allowed 3% of the total words to be typed)”

Open the original- What it measures
- This typing limit is looser than the 2 percent limit for Court Master in the same advertisement, though the typing speed is the same.
- What it does not show
- The notice gives the same wording for both posts, so the figure is the same for each. It is not the shorthand mistake limit.
