Divided attention is the ability to handle two tasks at the same time. Keep a drifting marker inside a lane while also responding to a warning light whenever it appears. Both tasks count toward your score.

This measures divided attention and task sharing: keeping two or more tasks running without dropping either. Flying and communicating at once is the daily version of this skill.
Make your tracking corrections small and early so the dot stays near the centre with minimal input. When tracking runs with little conscious effort, your spare attention is free to catch the warning light reliably. If you are missing signals, it usually means your tracking has become reactive, with large corrections that consume your full attention, so bring the marker back toward centre proactively rather than waiting until it drifts far out.
Aim to keep the marker in the lane for more than 80 percent of the session while catching 90 percent or more of the warning signals. If your tracking score is high but signal catches are low, your corrections are too reactive and are using more attention than they need to. Smooth, small adjustments that keep the marker near the centre are the key to freeing enough spare attention to respond to every signal quickly.
