INFORMATION
We invite you to apply to the Typing Test to help you prepare for a Los Angeles County job that requires typing skills. This posting is to allow candidates to take timed typing tests designed to measure speed and accuracy in typing. It will solely be used for record-keeping and transfer score purposes. You do not need to apply if you have already completed a typing test with the Department of Human Resources and achieved a score of 40 words per minute. This typing test will not result in an eligible register.
  • To compete for a specific job classification, a separate application is required.
  • Candidates' most recent typing test scores will supersede all previous scores unless a passing score of 40 words per minute has been rendered.
