3 and 8 Cancellation Test

Measure sustained attention, speed and accuracy

3 and 8 Cancellation Test Online

In this attention cancellation test, you must cross out every 3 and 8 as quickly and accurately as possible. This version uses a 3-minute timer and tracks speed, omissions, commission errors and a site score for progress.

How this page scores you
Score = (correct × 2) − (wrong × 6) − (missed × 2)
The official paper test reports speed and error indicators separately. This online version keeps those separate and also calculates a GMT score for history, badges and ranking.
What is measured
Sustained attention + visual scanning
You will see SP (speed / reviewed progress), LB (wrong marks / commission errors) and LO (missed targets / omissions) after each run.

What this test measures

This task belongs to the family of cancellation tests. You search a large field of symbols and mark only the targets. In practice, that means sustained attention, visual scanning speed and resistance to careless mistakes.

How the results are shown here

This page reports the main practical indicators separately: Correct = targets found, Wrong = non-targets crossed out by mistake, Missed = targets left unmarked, Accuracy = correct marks divided by all marks, SP = reviewed progress, LB = wrong marks, LO = omissions.

How to use your score correctly

The composite GMT score on this page is useful for personal tracking, local history, badges and leaderboard logic. It is not a substitute for official standardized norms from licensed paper materials.

Tips for cleaner results

Work line by line, do not rush the first 20–30 seconds, and use the same device when comparing sessions. Mobile is supported, but desktop is still better for precision.

FAQ

How long does the test take?

This version uses a 3-minute timer, which matches the common paper format used in Polish 3/8 attention testing.

What counts as an omission?

An omission means a 3 or 8 was present on the board but you did not cross it out before time ran out.

What counts as a wrong mark?

A wrong mark means you crossed out a digit that was not 3 or 8.

Is the leaderboard score official?

No. The leaderboard uses a GMT score built from correct hits, wrong marks and omissions. It is designed for site comparison, not clinical diagnosis.
