The test DOES time out.
You cannot walk away for extended periods and return to finish
it. (bathroom break is fine).
This is ON purpose because it limits variables such as time of day,
distractions, how well you slept the night before, how much stress you are under, etc.
This is why it must be completed in one sitting.
The most common factors affecting cognition are nutrition, sleep quantity/quality, and stress
management. There are many other factors, but addressing these 3 are very important for improving
cognition.
Reminders:
· Do NOT skip tutorials
· Take the test in one sitting, without distractions.
· Test can be repeated as often as you like, at the above listed prices (subject to change over
time)
· You cannot use your smart phone. The creators of the test decided that phones are too small
and too distracting
· You can use desktop, laptop, or tablet.
· Regarding browsers: do not use Internet Explorer, Edge, or other older browsers. It’s best to
use Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox
· If you have temporary disruption with internet connection, click on “refresh” and you may not
have to start the test over.
· If you ‘x’ out of the browser, you will have to start over.
· As long as you don’t complete the test all the way to the end where a report is generated, you
can ‘x’ out of the browser and start the test over if needed.
