Rules 

The primary task consists in maintaining the ILS cross as centered as possible with the joystick, virtual joystick or keyboard arrow keys. The second task is to handle the 9 boxes on each side. Press the respective button on the keypad as per which box lights up. The third task is to memorize a series of 2 to 6 digit numbers that are displayed on the screen. After a while the system will pause your test by itself automatically and ask you to enter these numbers. Then your test will be resumed on its own where it was. The fourth task is to pay attention to the audio number series. Press "E" when you hear 3 consecutive even numbers. Press "O" when you hear 3 consecutive odd numbers. Use the dedicated buttons if you play with a joystick.

Example 

Global Multitasking - Airline pilot psychometric test online on Pilotest
Keep the pink cross centered. Memorize for later recall 67030. Press 8 on the keypad to extinguish the yellow warning, which sits on the top-centre cell of the left grid. Imagine now that you have heard 7, 9, 2, 9, 2, 4 and 6: since the last three (2, 4 and 6) are all even, you must press "E" (or the dedicated button on your joystick).

Timing 

The test lasts 10 minutes.

About gamepads 

For your comfort you can practice this test either with a real gamepad, or with the virtual on-screen gamepad, or with your keyboard. However, in order to get the best of your training we do recommend that you acquire a joystick in order to recreate in the most realistic manner the conditions you will face on exam day.
See this part of the FAQ regarding gamepad calibration.
