🚀 My Personal Banking Journey (25 WPM → 120+ WPM)
Real confession: I failed my first IBPS typing test because I didn't take it seriously. My speed was 25 WPM - 5 WPM short. I thought I could pass without practice. I was wrong.
After that failure, I created a structured plan. I practiced banking terms daily. I took 10-minute mock tests every day. I analyzed my errors. Within 6 weeks, my speed reached 35 WPM with 97% accuracy. I passed the typing test on my second attempt and got the job.
Today, I type at 120+ WPM and have helped 50,000+ banking aspirants clear their typing tests. This guide shares the EXACT 6-week plan that worked for me. Follow it, and you WILL pass your banking typing test!
