Why This Software Gives You a Better Chance of Passing
The Dots Concentration Test is not about intelligence. It is about whether you can stay focused, work quickly, avoid mistakes, and maintain accuracy under time pressure.
That is exactly what this software helps you develop.
With unlimited timed practice, you can:
✓ Get used to the pressure of working against the clock.
✓ Improve your ability to spot the correct dot patterns quickly.
✓ Reduce careless mistakes that could cost you marks.
✓ Build the concentration stamina needed to stay sharp across the full test.
✓ Track where you are making errors so you know what to improve.
✓ Practise from home until the test format feels familiar and less intimidating.
By the time you sit the real assessment, you will not be seeing this type of test for the first time. You will know what to expect, how to approach it, and how to manage your speed and accuracy.
ABOUT THE DOTS CONCENTRATION TEST
THE DOTS CONCENTRATION test
Why So Many Candidates Struggle with the Dots Test
Many train driver candidates underestimate the Dots Concentration Test because it looks simple at first glance. However, once the timer starts, the challenge becomes much harder.
You need to work quickly, scan accurately, avoid selecting the wrong boxes, and stay focused for the full duration of the test. After just a few minutes, mental fatigue can set in, and that is when mistakes usually happen.
The problem is not that candidates are incapable. The problem is that they have not trained their concentration, speed and accuracy before test day.
HOW THE TEST WORKS
- The test is designed to assess your ability to concentrate whilst performing tasks at high speed. The test will be carried out either with a pen and paper, or a computer and a computer screen.
- Whichever test you undertake, you will be presented with five pages or screens that each contains 25 columns.
- Each of the columns contains boxes with patterns of dots which are either in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Your task is to work quickly and accurately through each column, from left to right, identifying boxes of 4 dots only.
- You are allowed two minutes only per sheet and, once the two minutes are up, you are told to move onto the next page regardless of whether you have completed it or not.
- We can confidently say that you will not complete each page in the allotted two minutes per sheet, simply because there are too many groups of dots to work through!
The test requires ten minutes of solid concentration.
EXAMPLE DOTS CONCENTRATION TEST
You will notice that the 2nd, 4th, 7th and 9th boxes each contain 4 dots. If you were taking the paper and pencil based version of the test, you would mark the boxes that contain 4 dots as follows:
Note that we have placed a single diagonal line through each of the boxes that contains 4 dots.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- It is crucial that you aim for accuracy as well as speed.
- You will lose marks for incorrect answers; therefore, you will need to work hard on improving your concentration levels.
- You will find that during the first couple of sheets your concentration levels will be good; however, after a few minutes it will become harder to concentrate.
