A number appears on screen for a few seconds. Memorize it, then type it back when prompted. Each correct answer adds one more digit. The test ends when you make a mistake.

Use chunking — break long numbers into groups of 3-4 digits, like a phone number. Practice regularly, stay focused, and avoid distractions during the memorization phase.
