Schulte table online
The classic attention test right in your browser - no sign-up, nothing to install. Pick a size, hit Start and find the numbers in order, as fast as you can. After the 5×5 test you can compare your time against adult norms.
Find the numbers 1 to 25 in order. Keep your gaze at the center and search with your peripheral vision.
How to play
- 1
Sit comfortably with the screen at eye level. Start with the classic 5×5 table.
- 2
Hit Start - the clock runs at once and the numbers appear in a random layout.
- 3
Keep your gaze at the center of the board and find each next number with your peripheral vision, without scanning row by row. Click them in order.
- 4
A mistake does not stop the test, it just counts as an error. The test ends when you click the last number.
- 5
Do 3-5 rounds in a row and look at the median, not a single best time.
Norms for the 5×5 table
Adult ranges for first attempts with a random table. After a few days of practice your time is no longer comparable with norms for untrained people - from then on, compare yourself with last week.
| Time | Level |
|---|---|
| under 15 s | expert |
| 15-25 s | advanced |
| 25-40 s | intermediate |
| 40-60 s | beginner |
| over 60 s | starting point |
Gorbov table online
The red-black version of the Schulte table: you point to 25 black numbers in ascending order and 24 red ones in descending order, alternating. It measures attention switching - which is why it was used to test train drivers and operators. It is clearly harder than the classic table, so do not compare the two times.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the online Schulte table free?
- Yes. It runs in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone, with no sign-up. Your results are not sent anywhere - they stay on your screen.
- How long should a 5×5 table take?
- The average adult needs about 40 seconds. Under 25 seconds is advanced, under 15 is expert. The norms apply to first attempts; after practice, compare yourself with your own earlier results.
- Can I compare an online result with a paper one?
- Only roughly. On screen you add the time it takes to click, and the board size depends on the device. Compare results from the same device and similar conditions.
- Which size should I start with?
- Adults - the classic 5×5. Children aged 5-7 - 3×3 or 4×4. The 6×6 and 7×7 boards are for people who consistently finish a 5×5 in under 25 seconds.
- How often should I practise?
- A few minutes a day is enough: 3-5 tables, a short break, done. Regularity beats long sessions once a week.
