Practice / Coordination and reaction
Keep a drifting ball centred in a tray with two-axis keyboard control as the drift speeds up.

A coordination test checks how smoothly you control something on screen while it is being pushed off course. Pilots make small, steady control inputs to hold an aircraft on track. Training providers commonly report a hand–eye coordination task in cadet aptitude tests.
What this section trains
Use short taps, not long presses. Big inputs make the ball overshoot.
Correct early. A small drift is easy to stop; a fast one is not.
Watch which way the ball is moving, not only where it is now.
Relax your hands and shoulders. Tension makes control jerky.
Expect the drift to grow stronger. Stay calm when it gets harder near the end.
More help: how to prepare for a pilot aptitude test.
It is a task where you keep a moving object on target with keys, a joystick or similar controls. Training providers commonly report hand–eye coordination tasks in cadet aptitude tests, but the exact equipment and task vary.
After a 15-second warm-up, you keep a ball inside the centre zone of a round tray using the arrow keys. The scored part lasts 90 seconds on Foundation and 120 seconds on Advanced, and the drift gets stronger as it goes. Your results show how long you kept the ball in the target zone.
Not for this task; it uses the keyboard arrow keys. The main skill, making small corrections early, carries over to other controls.
