DM2 Spatial Orientation 2D Pegasus CASE

Spatial Orientation 2D (DM2) — SkyTest CASE Module

Spatial Orientation 2D — the official SkyTest code is DM2 — measures how well you memorize a sequence of direction instructions that appear one by one and disappear, apply them mentally, and identify which option places the green marker on the target point (the red ball). It requires both spatial orientation and short-term memory. It is one of the modules used in the Pegasus CASE assessment.

Spatial orientation + short-term memory

How does it work?

1. Memorize the instructions

When the question starts, the instructions appear one by one on the screen; each one is visible briefly, disappears, and is followed by the next. The instructions do not remain on the screen as a list, so you must keep the sequence in memory. There are three instruction types:

GO AHEAD: the arrow moves 1 square forward in the direction it is facing.
TURN LEFT / TURN RIGHT AND GO AHEAD: the arrow first turns 90° left or right, then moves 1 square forward.
TURN BACK AND GO AHEAD: the arrow turns 180° around itself, then moves 1 square forward.

Consecutive "GO AHEAD" instructions stack up, so two "GO AHEAD" steps mean 2 squares forward. The turns are relative to the arrow’s current facing direction, not to absolute north or south.

2. Find the correct option

After the final instruction, 4 options appear. Each option shows a green arrow in a different starting position and orientation; the green ball at the tail is the starting point, and the arrow direction is the starting direction. A red ball marks the target point. You apply the memorized instructions to the green arrow in each option. The correct answer is the one where the green marker ends on top of the red ball.

Example

The instructions appear in this order: TURN RIGHT AND GO AHEAD → GO AHEAD → TURN RIGHT AND GO AHEAD → GO AHEAD → GO AHEAD → GO AHEAD.

The green marker turns to its own right and moves 1 square forward, moves 1 square forward, turns to its own right again and moves 1 square forward, then moves 3 squares forward. If the green marker finishes on top of the red ball, that option is correct.

Test structure

The module has three parts, played back to back without a break:

Section	Duration	Scored	Instruction count
Practice	3 min	No	4-5
Level 1	3 min	Yes	4-5
Level 2	10 min	Yes	4-8

How should you prepare?

On CadetPrep, you can practise this module at Easy / Medium / Hard levels and then measure yourself with a mock exam that mirrors the real test structure.

Most common mistakes

Losing the instruction order in memory and skipping or mixing up one of the steps.

Treating consecutive "GO AHEAD" instructions as a single square and under-moving.

Reading the turn as an absolute direction instead of a relative turn based on the marker’s current facing direction.

Trying to solve the item without first checking the starting direction of each option.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Spatial Orientation 2D (DM2)?

It is a SkyTest CASE module that measures how well you memorize disappearing direction instructions and identify which option places the green marker on the target point (the red ball).

What do I see on the screen in DM2?

First, the instructions appear one by one and disappear, so you must memorize them. After the final instruction, 4 options appear, each showing a green arrow and a red ball.

Do the instructions stay on the screen?

No. The instructions appear one by one and disappear; they do not remain as a list, so you need to keep the sequence in memory.

What do the instructions mean?

GO AHEAD means move 1 square forward in the direction you are facing. TURN LEFT/RIGHT AND GO AHEAD means turn 90 degrees first and then move 1 square forward. TURN BACK AND GO AHEAD means turn 180 degrees and then move 1 square forward. The turns are relative to the marker’s current facing direction.

How do I find the correct option?

Apply the memorized instructions to the green arrow in each option. The correct answer is the option where the green marker ends on top of the red ball.

How many sections does DM2 have?

Three sections: a 3-minute practice section (not scored), a 3-minute Level 1 section (scored), and a 10-minute Level 2 section (scored). They run back to back without a break.
