Coordination improving methods
Preparing for my aptitude tests right now, and as with everybody, am currently pondering whether my hand/eye is quite up to scratch having had a quick play around on the Oxford aptitude tests yesterday. I mean, it's not so much the coordination - I think the joystick was too sensitive and not like the one I am used to using...
Anyway, I know that this topic has been covered many times before, and I assure you that I did do a search but couldn't find any information.
So, I thought that possibly, it would be quite a nice idea to have a thread made up with your various methods of improving the hand/eye. I don't know if this has been covered before - maybe it has, maybe it hasn't!
Anyway, currently, my options that I am trying out are the following:
1/ On Microsoft Flight Simulator, selecting a visual flight path from an ILS frequency, so the boxes are visible. That was you're flying the plane through the boxes and might contain an element of multitasking to it? But obviously, the object is to keep the plane flying through the boxes and into a safe landing.
2/ Chopper: http://www.hurtwood.demon.co.uk/Fun/copter.swf - available in many forms in many places throughout the internet.
If anybody else has any other methods, please post them on here!
Cheers
Chris

Use the arrows to accelerate, decelerate, climb and descend.
Fly low over the lakes to get water (your speed need to be in the blue zone).
Press space key to release water over fires.
Have fun !!

The red warning msg means "speed too high, impossible to get water".
Your speed has to be in the blue zone in order to be able to get water. Caution: if your descent rate is too high when you touch the water you will crash. And if you don't play with the up and down keys while scooping water, you will also crash...
When you finish a level, press any key to move to the next level.
Hope it will help...

Get yourself a copy of tony hawks pro skater, any version. In my opinion deffinitely the best game for improving both hand to eye coordination but also reaction time and reflexes, which are also an important part of computer aptitude tests.
Got in the top 5% for the ones done by cabair and must have played Hawk for about 10 hrs a week over the last 2 or 3 years.

I used an old toy computer which randomly asked simple math questions, and when I got it wrong I made a mark on a paper. At the same time I playd 21 also marking my scores and flying my MS flight sim trying to hold it straight and level. I kept doing that for five miutes at the time every now and then.
The test I later did at the evaluator looked a lot like that. I also did the most dreaded pen tapping test. You "walk" with a pen through some cirkles connected with lines while the evaluator asks you questions like "spell your last name backwords" and other things. The most important thing is to keep walking with the pen (keep flying the aeroplane).
It is dificult to train for these tests but you can always build your confidense...
