Frequently asked questions

Which exercise suits children?+

For primary school children the 4 × 4 Schulte table, letter cancellation on Easy (every d – good against mixing up b and d) and two-handed tracing work well. “Extra large print” makes the sheets especially easy to read.

Do the exercises help with exams and aptitude tests?+

Knowing the task types helps you start a test calmer and lose less time understanding them. Letter cancellation and the Stroop test resemble well-known test tasks. They give no norm values or test score.

Are the exercises suitable for seniors?+

Yes. Every exercise has an Easy level and the worksheets come in extra large print too – handy for memory training, care or at home. The exercises are activity and practice, not therapy.

What is the exercise of the day?+

Every day another of the four exercises is on – with the same task for everyone on level Medium. So you can compare yourself with others and share your result.

Is my data stored?+
