A correction about the provider
An earlier version of this guide incorrectly attributed PILAPT to Symbiotics. Published research on PILAPT identifies work by People Technologies and Psytech. The historical paper by Kokorian and Valsler describes the system’s development; it does not establish the current module list at your school.
Start with the assessment you have been assigned
Ask the recruiter for the test name, permitted familiarisation materials, equipment, duration and any language or knowledge requirements. Do not assume that a list on a preparation website matches your sitting or that every school still uses the same battery.
What to practise while you prepare
- Tracking: if included, understand the controls and how the target moves. Use any permitted practice with the actual type of equipment.
- Arithmetic and reasoning: review errors and units before increasing speed.
- Memory and spatial tasks: work through the instructions and practise with fresh items.
- Divided attention: learn the rules of each concurrent task before combining them.
This is our suggested general practice checklist, not a verified list of current PILAPT modules. Mobile touch practice does not reproduce a joystick-and-pedal assessment.
Scores and comparison with other batteries
We do not rank PILAPT as easier, shorter or more sensitive to practice than COMPASS or cut-e. Those claims need evidence for the versions being compared. Ask your assessment provider about score interpretation and selection criteria; app results cannot establish your official performance.
In the app, turn this checklist into a routine by opening Calculation grid, Logic sequences, 2-back memory, Cube nets, 3D objects and Psychomotor from the catalogue. This is general practice; it is not built from a verified PILAPT module list.
