The students are required to choose the correct answer by selecting it from the given numbers during the time falling numbers touches bottom of the screen.

Working Methodology: You should start with Beginner Level >> Slow Speed You would be able to find out with-in no time if the speed is too slow for you. If you find that the speed is too slow then change the speed to medium. In the Beginner Level >> Medium Speed your Attempt % should be above 90 and Correct by Attempt Ratio should more than 90% if you would like to proceed to Beginner Level>> Fast Speed. (You would be required to calculate all this with the help of the data in the result screen: step-9) Again if you would like to proceed from Beginner Level >> Fast Speed to Medium Level then again the condition stated above should be satisfied.
