How to Measure and Improve Reaction Time More Reliably
Use a simple routine to measure reaction time more consistently and improve personal bests.
Before measuring
Keep your hand near the input device, set comfortable brightness, and reduce notifications or background tasks. Fatigue and distraction increase score variance.
Practice routine
Rotate simple reaction, choice reaction, peripheral reaction, and Go/No-Go tests. Training speed and decision accuracy separately makes your results easier to interpret.
How to read progress
Look at the recent trend, not only one personal best. If your average improves and variance shrinks, your consistency is improving.
