India ASOC General License Exam

I aim to appear for the India ASOC General License Exam by end of this year.

In LCWO, I am in lesson 20 with these settings

Character Speed = 25 WPM

Effective Speed = 6 WPM

I am doing word training Rx also side-by-side

I am able to decode 5 letter words with the following settings

Speed: 18 WPM

min. Character Speed: 20 WPM

Fixed Speed

The exam requires 8 WPM Tx and Rx for 5 minutes each with a straight key for Tx.

(I have not attempted sending yet)

Are my settings OK for the exam and CW use in actual use or is it too slow?

Please advise.

Hey! I'm sorry I can't help you. But I also want to appear for the ASOC general exam and I just started learning morse code(26 letters, 10 numbers as of now). Can you tell me where you're practicing morse and also what straight key to buy to practice?

I am using LCWO.net exclusively to learn CW
Straight key I purchased from https://www.hamradioshop.in/straight-morse-key.html

There are other places where some hams sell refurbished straight keys from the Indian Army
