Compass Strategy

What Should You Focus on to Pass the Compass Test?

Compass progress is rarely random. The strongest improvement usually comes from better prioritisation, controlled rhythm, and a repeatable practice model for each module.

This page is designed to help candidates understand the test logic more clearly. Official process details and module emphasis can change over time.

Protect the priority task

In multitasking modules, candidates often lose points by sacrificing the primary control task for a secondary demand. The first job is to keep the core task stable.

Build mental processing speed

On the maths side, the goal is not only correct answers but correct answers under pressure. Short timed sets usually work better than passive review.

Consistency beats intensity

A few measurable sessions each week usually outperform one huge last-minute push. Steady repetition is what shapes reliable performance.

What should I do after one mistake?

Recover rhythm first instead of rushing and breaking the whole scan pattern.

Can I use a calculator?

No. Your preparation should reflect mental processing under time pressure.

How much should I practise?

Short regular blocks are usually more effective than scattered long sessions.
