ENAC Dials Reading
Neuro-SensomotoricPSY1Eight car and aircraft dials, with a table underneath that has a column for each of their ten readings. Tick the value each dial shows. You get to study the dials before the clock starts, and they stay put for the whole run. The exam format is 10 boards in 6 minutes.
Overview
Spend the study minutes on the faces, not the example readings. For each dial, work out what one graduation is worth and spot any printed multiplier. The faces never change during a run, so that work pays off on every board. Once the boards start, don't read all eight dials. Read a column's heading and go straight to that dial, since 4 columns are blank on every board anyway. Most wrong values are the right number with the decimal point moved, so once you know roughly where the needle sits, the pick is quick. You get 36 seconds a board (10 boards in 6 minutes), and there's no clock on screen, so practise that pace until you can feel it.
Assessments
Part of the ENAC EPL selection (PSY1) battery as “Test des compteurs”.
The day's brief states sixty questions in six minutes, and six readings a board makes that ten boards. The faces themselves resemble neither published trainer: different graduations and another style of drawing. There is a familiarisation phase before the clock in which every dial is shown.
Part of the Air France Cadets selection at ENAC (PSY1) battery as “Compteurs”.
The same test and the same eight-face panel, ten boards at most in six minutes, and most of the room answers six to eight of them. Here the options are not near values but magnitudes of one number (10, 100, 1,000, 10,000), so the reading is settled by the multiplier on the face rather than by the needle. Two of the faces carry two readings, and one carries three.
Battery mappings are based on public information and may change.
Eight dials, ten readings
- The tyre dial has one needle and two scales, bar and psi, one ring inside the other. The labels on the face tell you which ring is which.
- The temperature dial has two needles: water on the left arc, oil on the right.
- A multiplier printed on a face scales its numbers. A needle at 3 on a face marked ×1000 means 3000 rpm.
- A column of zeros is a reading nobody’s asking for. Every board asks 6 of its 10 columns.
One board
Tick the value each dial shows, one in each column that isn’t all zeros. Changed your mind? Click the ticked value again to untick it. Then hit Validate.
Game Phases
Learn the Faces First
Use the study minutes to work out what one graduation is worth on each dial, and which dials carry a multiplier.
Column, Then Dial
Read the column's heading, find that dial, read it. Skip the columns of zeros.
Check the Power of Ten
Most wrong values have the right digits, just at the wrong power of ten. Pick the one whose size fits the face: 240 and 2400 are very different needles.
Untick, Then Validate
A tick blocks the rest of its column, so untick it before you change your answer. And validate every board before time runs out, because one you haven't validated scores nothing.

A single signal appears after an unpredictable delay — respond as fast as you can. Measures your mean reaction time, your fastest response, and how consistent you are. Includes a Pair Match mode in the format of cut-e's Reaction Speed test: press only when two symbols match.
Stroop Test
Name the ink colour, not the word. A colour word streams on screen in a possibly-mismatched ink — select the ink colour and resist reading the word.
Visual Scanning
Sweep a cluttered field and connect the numbers in order — 1, 2, 3 … — as fast as you can find them.
Processing Speed
Learn a digit–symbol key, then match a rapid stream of symbols to their digits as fast as you can. Pure coding speed against the clock.
Attention Switching
Connect scattered numbers and letters in alternating order — 1, A, 2, B, 3, C … — switching mental tracks on every single step.
Auditory Detection Test
Monitor a spoken number stream in your headphones and respond only to the targets — or to the hidden even/odd runs.
Time Anticipation Test
A green ball flies at constant speed, then vanishes before a marked line. Press at the exact moment it would cross — then point to where. Timing error in milliseconds, position error in pixels, in the style of Schuhfried's ZBA.
Signal Detection Test
Watch a dark field of about 25 small white dots that appear and disappear at random, and press the moment four of them form a square. A practice version of SIGNAL, Schuhfried's signal-detection vigilance test in the Vienna Test System, with the S1 white-on-black and S2 black-on-white forms and a sudden-death Challenge mode.
Monitoring Ability Test
Count the blue dots drifting inside a circle and pick the exact number from five buttons before the clock runs out. A faithful practice version of scales cmo, cut-e's name for this test, also called the CUT-E Monitoring Ability Test.
ENAC Symbol Counting
Two counting exercises, and every board gets interrupted twice by a grid of colour words. In Attention 2 you count one symbol among two others that look a lot like it. In Attention 3 you count the x signs, minus after a / and plus again after a +. Each grid stays open for 12 seconds. In Attention 2 you tick the words written in their own colour, and in Attention 3 the ones that aren't. The exam format is 10 boards of each, 90 seconds a board.
ENAC Sustained Attention
You see four characters in four places: NW, NE, SW and SE. Then each board shows four grids of characters, one in each place, and for each place you say whether its own character is in its grid. The grids are built from those same four characters, so only the one that belongs to the place counts. The exam format is 3 series of 5 boards, with 3 minutes for each series.
ENAC Odd and Even
A board of numbered circles, scattered over the whole screen. Starting from START, click every one, odd and even in turn, with the odd numbers in ascending order and the even ones in ascending order, each on its own. A wrong click sends you back to START. The exam format is 5 boards with 90 seconds each.
ENAC Shapes and Colours
One shape at a time, filled or empty, in one of two colours. Two rules tell you whether to press X or N, and the colour says which rule to use. Each shape shows for half a second, and the exam format is 32 shapes, one every 3.2 seconds.
ENAC Mosaic Count
A black figure made of 16 tiles in a 4 × 4 square, with no lines between them. Count how many there are of each of the ten kinds and type each count under its tile, with a 0 for every kind that isn’t there. The exam format is 24 boards in 10 minutes.
