ðŸ’¡ 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 Her Majesty\'s / His Majesty\'s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) scoring rules.
