Overview
Traders often need to handle several streams of information at once while maintaining accuracy under pressure. The Multitasking Test measures your ability to process multiple tasks simultaneously and prioritize effectively. You work on two tasks in parallel: cross out duplicate numbers in the lists on the left while answering questions in the bottom right grid. Some questions require you to look up information in your phonebook or agenda, and some must be answered exactly on time, so you have to keep an eye on the clock while working through the lists.
Example: two tasks at the same time
The number lists run down the screen and you click every number that appears twice in the same row. While you do that, a question is read out to you and you answer it in the grid below by clicking one of fifteen options, which are shared by all the questions in that block. Some questions send you into the phonebook or agenda first.

Game Phases
1
Cross out duplicates
Work through the number lists on the left and click every number that appears twice.
2
Answer questions
Questions appear alongside the lists. Answer them by clicking the correct option in the bottom right grid.
3
Look things up
Some questions require information from your phonebook or agenda. Open them, find the answer, and get back to the lists.

Watch the clock
Some answers must be given precisely on time. Keep an eye on the timer while you balance both tasks for the highest score.
Scoring
+12
Number lists
Each completed list is worth up to 12 points based on how far you get, with a 3 point bonus for a perfect list.
-2
Missed duplicate pair
Every duplicate pair you leave uncrossed in a completed list costs 2 points.
+4 to +8
Timed questions
Questions that must be answered on time pay 4 to 8 points depending on how precisely you hit the target moment.
+1 / -1
Regular questions
A correct answer adds a point; a wrong, missed, or late answer costs one.
Your final score combines list progress and question accuracy, so neither task can be ignored. Hard mode uses tougher questions and lists than Easy mode. Longer sessions allow higher scores, so compare your results within the same duration and difficulty; your progress history is grouped by both.
