Parameter Memory Test
IntellectualAviation parameters flash up on a dark display, then vanish. Reproduce the data row by row, from memory, before the clock runs out.
Overview
The Parameter Memory Test measures short-term memory for labelled instrument values, modelled on the COMPASS Memory subtest, which appears in both the classic and the Advanced battery: aviation parameters shown briefly on a dark display, erased, and typed back row by row. The memorize-then-reproduce staging follows the real test's structure; display times, value ranges, the row ramp and the exact keystroke format are our own design around that format, so expect the real test to differ in those details.
Assessments
Tested in assessments at Transavia, Emirates and Etihad.
Could show up in COMPASS-based selections.
Airline mappings are based on public information and may change.
Example: one series, start to finish
Watch the whole cycle: the values are shown briefly, the display goes dark, and then the test asks for them back one row at a time.
1 · Memorize the data
Memorize the data: three labelled rows on a dark display. You have only seconds.
Game Phases
Memorize
A dark instrument display lists this round's rows, each a label with its value: Speed (S) 210, Radio (R) 118.35, and so on. You have only seconds, so read deliberately and chunk what you see.
Blackout
The display goes dark. Nothing on screen will remind you which values were shown; whatever you are holding is all you have.
Reproduce Row by Row
One answer row appears at a time. Type the digits for the prompted label and press Enter to commit; the next blank row appears below it. Type digits only: the radio's decimal dot drops in by itself. Enter on an empty row skips it.
Climb the Load
Early series carry two rows; the ramp adds a third, then a fourth. Each series has one recall budget covering all its rows, and anything still blank when it runs out scores nothing.
More Practice
Memory
10 exercisesENAC M2-back numérique
Digits come up one at a time, a new one every 3 seconds. From the third one on, you say for each digit whether it's the same as the one 2 before it. The exam format is 62 digits, 60 of them with a question.
ENAC M2-back couleurs
Coloured squares come up one at a time. From the third on, say whether each one is the same colour as the one two before it. The exam format is 42 colours, 40 answers, in 2:06.
ENAC Memory N-Back
Letters come up one at a time, and for each one you say whether it’s the same letter as the one three, four or five before it. Capitals and small letters count as the same. The exam format is two tests back to back: a 3-back then a 4-back for ENAC EPL, a 4-back then a 5-back for Air France Cadets. It hasn’t been set since 2020.
Visual N-Back
Shapes in colours go past one at a time. On every one, say whether it is the same shape AND the same colour as the one a few places back — and the lag you are matching against changes from block to block.
Associative Memory
Memorise a set of symbol–number pairs, then after a short delay recall which number went with each symbol.
Acoustic Memory Test
Hear a spoken sequence once, hold it through a filled delay, and type it back — exactly in order.
Grid Challenge
A dot memory test in the format of gridChallenge, Aon's official name for its working memory module: dots flash one by one on a scattered field, quick yes or no puzzles interrupt between flashes, then you click the dots back in order.
ENAC Memory Calculation
You get a calculation, then a letter, then another calculation and another letter, and so on. At the end of the board, you type the letters back in the order they came. The exam format is 20 boards, from 3 letters up to 9, with 5 seconds a calculation and 1 second a letter.
ENAC Running Comparison
A stream of simple calculations, one at a time. For each one, tick whether its result is identical to or different from the one it's compared with: the result just before, the one two back, or a fixed value X, depending on the block. The exam format is 100 answers in four blocks of 25, about 12 minutes.
ENAC Reversed Series
Digits come up one at a time in the same spot, a second each. When they’ve gone, you type them back in reverse, the last one first. The sequences grow from 4 to 9 digits. The exam format is 12 sequences, about 3:30.
