Why This Software Gives You a Better Chance of Passing
The VIGILANCE Test is not about intelligence. It is about whether you can stay focused, react quickly, avoid mistakes, and maintain focus 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 react 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 TRAIN DRIVER VIGILANCE TEST
THE VIGILnce test
Why So Many Candidates Struggle with the Vigilance Test
Many train driver candidates underestimate the Vigilance Test because it looks simple at first glance. However, once the timer starts, the challenge becomes much harder.
You need to react quickly, 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, reaction and accuracy before test day.
HOW THE TEST WORKS
- The test is designed to assess your ability to react quickly to changes whilst performing tasks at high speed. The test will be carried out on a computer and a computer screen.
- During the test, you will be presented with a simple square which at random increments will change to a different colour.
- Your task is to press the button as quickly as possible when you see the target colour appear
- At the beginning of the test you will be informed of the target colour you are looking for so ensure you read the instruction and follow procedure.
- Our version of the test has four different challenging levels which you can use from easy to extreme
The test requires up to seven minutes of solid focus and concentration.
THE VIGILANCE TEST LEVELS AND PROGRESS
With How2become’s version of the Vigilance test, we have created four different levels. The purpose of this is for the candidate to gauge their progress. For example, if you are getting a good score on our hard level, this is a good indication that you will probably do well in this test on your assessment day.
Easy Level: A quick 2 minute test, with longer periods between target colours and longer reaction windows. Start on this level and practice until you reach a consistent score in the high 90’s percentage, on multiple test attempts
Medium Level: This level is a 4 minute test where the changes in colour will be more rapid and the time you have to react is also reduced. This level requires sustained focus and consistent reactions.
Hard Level: The test is 7 minutes long and requires comprehensive focus, concentration and reaction skills. Colour changes will come at pace and the reaction window is further reduced.
Extreme Level: This is a five minute bonus test which is not used currently as part of the vigilance test, it will help you to master the ability to work on two tasks simultaneously which is vital in other areas of the assessment.
IMPORTANT TIPS
- It is crucial that you aim for accuracy as well as reaction.
- 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 minutes your concentration levels will be good; however, after a few minutes it will become harder to concentrate.
