Frequently asked questions

What is a Schulte table?+

A grid of numbers in random order that you find in order as fast as possible. The exercise goes back to the psychiatrist Walter Schulte and is popular for practising attention, eye movement and quick perception.

How fast should I be?+

It depends a lot on age, practice and device. For the 5 × 5 table many adults start at half a minute to a minute and get clearly faster with practice. Compare yourself with yourself – the history shows your last rounds and the best time per level.

Why look at the centre?+

Keeping your eyes in the middle and finding the numbers from the corner of your eye trains peripheral vision and reduces eye jumps. It feels odd at first – it is worth trying anyway.

How do I print several tables?+

Open “Worksheets to print”, pick level and number of sheets (up to 20) and tap “Print / save as PDF”. Every sheet is shuffled anew and has fields for name, date, time and errors. “Extra large print” helps children and older people.

Are my results stored?+

Only in your browser. Nothing is uploaded; “Clear history” removes the rounds of the chosen level.

The exercises are for practice and fun. They do not replace a diagnosis or therapy.
