SpeedDistanceCalculator.com · Time · Speed · Distance
I am Pradeep Khillare — the author, calculator builder, and content creator behind SpeedDistanceCalculator.com. I have 7–8 years of competitive exam preparation and qualification experience across Maharashtra and beyond. Now a government employee, I use that experience to create tools and explanations that actually help serious students.
I know what it feels like to be sitting at a desk at midnight, flipping through a textbook, not understanding why a formula gives the wrong answer. I know which tricks are genuinely fast and which ones only look fast in a YouTube video. Everything I publish on this site comes from that experience — filtered down to only what is worth your time.
Competitive Exams Qualified
I have cleared multiple competitive exams across different domains. These results are not theory — they are the proof that the methods I teach have been tested under real exam conditions.
Why Should You Trust This?
That is a fair question. Here is my honest answer — I will not give you a long list of degrees or coaching institute logos. What I will give you is this:
- I was where you are. I prepared sincerely for 7–8 years. I made the mistakes. I found the shortcuts that actually work and discarded the ones that waste time.
- Less time per problem. Unnecessary calculations are the biggest enemy of exam performance. The methods here help you reach the correct answer faster without cutting corners.
- I only publish what is worth publishing. Everything on this site has been filtered. If it is here, it passed the "is this actually useful" test.
- My methods are exam-proven. I used these approaches myself in real competitive exam conditions — not just on paper.
How I Teach — 4 to 5 Methods Per Concept
Every concept on this site is explained in 4 to 5 distinct methods. This is intentional. Different students think differently. One method will click for you — another will click for your friend. You do not need to learn all five. You need to find your one and master it.
Formula Method
The standard D = S × T approach — clean, universal, always reliable as a baseline.
Unitary Method
Break the problem into per-unit steps. Excellent for students who think in proportions.
Ratio / Speed Method
Use ratios to avoid divisions entirely. Fast for MCQ-format where options guide you.
Fraction Method
Stacked fraction cancellation — the fastest approach for problems with clean numbers.
Trick / Shortcut
Pattern-based shortcuts for recurring problem types — where the answer takes 15 seconds.
The goal is always the same: get the correct answer in the minimum possible time. In a competitive exam, every second counts. My methods are built around that reality.
Who This Is For — Exams Covered Worldwide
Time, Speed and Distance is not a niche topic. It appears in competitive exams across every continent. The methods I teach are universal — the same logic applies whether you are sitting for an Indian state exam or a US graduate test.
| Region | Exams / Tests |
|---|---|
| India — Central | SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC MTS, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, SBI PO, CAT, UPSC CSAT, NDA, AFCAT, RRB NTPC |
| India — Maharashtra | Talathi Bharti, Saralseva, MPSC State Services, Police Constable, ZP / Gramsevak, MAHA TET |
| India — Other States | RPSC, TNPSC, UPPSC, KPSC, BPSC, WBCS and equivalent state-level aptitude papers |
| USA | SAT Math, ACT Math, GRE Quant, GMAT Quant, LSAT |
| UK | GCSE Maths, A-Level Maths, UKCAT / UCAT, Civil Service Fast Stream |
| Canada | CFAT (Canadian Forces), RCMP Entrance, Provincial Civil Service aptitude tests |
| Australia | ADF Aptitude Test, ACER tests, GAMSAT |
| Arab World | QIYAS (Saudi Arabia), Emirates Standardised Test (UAE), MOE Kuwait, Jordan Tawjihi, Thanawiya Amma |
| Other | Any school, state, or national exam that includes quantitative aptitude or word problems on motion |
If your exam is not listed, the core logic still applies. TSD is TSD — the formulas and shortcuts cross borders.
What I Publish — and Why
I worked in private coaching for a period. I understand how coaching works — what gets taught, what gets skipped, and why students often leave more confused than when they arrived. When I joined government service, I made a decision: I would publish everything I have learned, for free, for students who prepare sincerely on their own.
This is not a content factory. I publish slowly and carefully. Every calculator on this site is built to solve a specific problem type that real exam-takers face. Every solution method is written the way a good teacher would explain it at a blackboard — step by step, with the reasoning shown, not just the answer.
Editorial Policy
All content on this site is created based on real exam patterns, verified calculations, and practical methods tested during competitive exam preparation. Every calculator is checked against at least four independent solution approaches before publication. Every worked example uses actual problem patterns from SSC, IBPS, Maharashtra State, and equivalent exam papers.
We do not publish unverified shortcuts, misleading claims, or content designed to look useful without being useful. If a method has not been tested under real exam conditions, it does not appear here.
