💡 Pro Exam Advice for Candidates

Do not look at the keyboard during the test. Keep your fingers resting on the home row (ASDF JKL;). Maintain a consistent rhythm rather than bursting speed, as irregular rhythm leads to transposition errors that severely penalize Net WPM under official Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DOJ&CD) scoring rules.
