Sample passage
The Railway Recruitment Board conducts a typing skill test for several non-technical popular categories after the computer-based stages. A distinctive feature of this test is that backspace is disabled, so every keystroke counts and there is no chance to undo a mistake. Because errors beyond a small tolerance are penalised many times over, candidates learn to type calmly and deliberately rather than quickly and carelessly. Practising without ever reaching for the delete key is the single most useful habit for this particular railway examination.
