01
What five tables will show
Search an actual grid instead of answering a questionnaire about attention. See how long each table took and where errors occurred.
Rest between tables is excluded
Start each following stage separately. An interrupted table is repeated.
Review the original grids
Compare times and errors; each saved layout helps you revisit a stage.
02
Review speed and accuracy separately
Times and errors are not combined into an invented overall score. Review the complete series.
Median time
The middle time after sorting five completed tables. Rest between tables is excluded.
Fastest table
The lowest completion time of the five tables. The other four remain available for review.
Errors
Selections that did not match the next required number in completed tables. An error does not advance the sequence.
How the Schulte result is calculated
Timing runs from the grid appearing until the correct selection of 25 after completing 1–25. The median is the third of five sorted times. Errors are separate, without penalty seconds. Five minutes for the series is an estimate, not a shared countdown.
- 1Start a table and find 1, then 2, through 25.
- 2Review the time, rest if needed and start the following table separately.
- 3After five tables, open the median, fastest stage, errors and saved layouts.
Follow the sequence
- All numbers stay visible until completion: there is no need to memorise the grid.
- Switching tabs or losing focus cancels the current table while completed ones remain.
- Use mouse, touch, or Tab and Enter on the keyboard. Keep one input method for the series.
FAQ
Questions about Schulte tables
A Schulte table contains twenty-five numbers in a random arrangement. In this free BrainApps check, select them in ascending order: 1, 2, 3, through 25. Start each following table separately after completing the previous one; rest between tables is not timed. Numbers do not disappear or receive a completed marker. A wrong selection counts as an error but does not advance the target. The result stores all five times, errors and original layouts. Use similar conditions and one input method when comparing your own repeated sessions. Continue with our Schulte trainer afterwards if you wish.
How do I complete Schulte tables online?+
Select Start table and choose 1 to 25 in ascending order. Complete five different 5×5 grids. Use mouse or touch to select cells; with a keyboard, move using Tab and activate with Enter or space.
Do I need to memorise the numbers?+
No. All 25 numbers remain visible, and correct selections are not hidden or marked as completed. This is a visible-grid search, not a memory test.
How are errors counted?+
Selecting anything other than the next required number adds an error without advancing the sequence. Timing continues, without artificial penalty seconds. The total refers only to the five completed tables.
What happens if I get distracted or leave the tab?+
Changing tabs or losing focus interrupts the current stage, which restarts with a fresh grid. Completed stages remain until the page is reloaded. A stage is also interrupted after five minutes or 125 selections; reset the series after thirty interruptions.
What is a normal Schulte completion time?+
This web version has no universal age threshold or ranking. Displays, input methods and conditions differ. Compare your own median and errors on the same device, not just one table's record.
How does this differ from the BrainApps Schulte trainer?+
This is a fixed check: five 5×5 tables and a result without sign-up. The Clicker trainer is a separate game with changing difficulty. You can continue to it after viewing your result.
