Dividing attention between a data-entry task and a visual monitoring task at once is one of the hardest cognitive demands in pilot selection. In each 120-second round you type short alphanumeric codes shown in the centre of the screen while also watching eight peripheral indicator lights around the edge and tapping each one before its response window closes. Both tasks run simultaneously and both count toward your score.

This measures divided attention and multitasking workload capacity: typing short codes accurately while also catching peripheral indicator lights before their window closes, both running at once for two minutes. It mirrors the flight-deck reality of managing a focused task and a monitoring task together without dropping either.
Keep your central gaze on the entry panel and let the lights catch your attention at the edge of your visual field. This is the same technique as instrument scan: foveal focus on a primary reference, peripheral awareness for deviations.
A combined score of 60 or above is a solid pass. Getting there typically means typing at least 15 entries per minute with high accuracy while hitting 70% or more of the lights. Start by building consistency at lower pace before pushing speed.
