What this test involves
- Answer as many as you can.
- Report the quadrant holding the target symbol.
- Press A–D to choose an answer, or click it.
How to prepare for the Visual Search Test
- Every distractor shares the shape or the colour of the target, never both, so scan for the combination, not either half.
- Sweep in a fixed pattern, quadrant by quadrant. Random hunting feels faster and is not.
- If you have not found it in one sweep, you missed it. Start the second sweep on the opposite side.
