Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the tests, training benefits, and scoring.

Getting Started

?

What exactly is Reflextry?

It's a free platform built to measure and improve your raw mechanical skills—things like reaction time, working memory, and clicking accuracy. No downloads or sign-ups required. Just pick a tool and start testing your limits.

?

Do I have to create an account?

Nope. Everything is completely free and accessible right now. We'll be adding optional accounts later if you want to save your progress across devices or compete on global leaderboards, but the core tools will always be open.

?

Where should I start?

If you play shooters, hit the Aim Trainer or Reaction Time Test. If you're here for cognitive training, try Sequence Memory or Number Memory. We recommend just trying a few out to see where your baseline is at.

Brain Training

?

Does brain training actually do anything?

Yes, it's called 'near transfer' in neuroscience. If you practice remembering number sequences daily, your brain physically adapts (neuroplasticity) and you get better at holding information in your short-term memory. It's like going to the gym, but for your central nervous system.

?

How long until I see results?

If you grind for 10-20 minutes a day, you'll start seeing your scores go up within 2 to 3 weeks. Consistency matters way more than doing a massive 2-hour session once a week.

Memory Training

?

How do I stop forgetting things immediately?

The quickest hack is 'chunking'—grouping items together (like remembering a phone number in blocks rather than single digits). Also, your brain deletes things it thinks are useless, so you have to actively focus and force recall to make it stick.

?

Working memory vs long-term memory?

Working memory is your brain's RAM—it holds what you're thinking about right now. Long-term memory is the hard drive. Our tools strictly train your RAM, so you can process more things simultaneously without dropping the ball.

Reaction Time

?

What is a 'good' reaction time?

The global average visual reaction time sits around 200–250ms. Competitive gamers frequently clock in at 150–190ms. Anything under 150ms is top 1% human capability.

?

Does my monitor or mouse cause input lag?

Yes. A 60Hz monitor adds ~16ms of frame delay compared to a 144Hz (~7ms) or 240Hz (~4ms) panel. Wireless mice with poor polling rates can also add latency. For pure test accuracy, use a gaming mouse and high-refresh display.

Speed & Aim

?

Can I train my CPS (Clicks Per Second)?

Yes. Standard clicking usually caps around 6–8 CPS. Techniques like jitter clicking or butterfly clicking can push you past 12–16 CPS.

Privacy & Scores

?

Is my score saved if I close the browser?

Your scores and session records are stored locally in your browser's local storage. They persist across reloads on the same device and browser.

?

Do you sell or collect my personal data?

No. We do not track or sell personal identifying data. All cognitive and reaction test metrics belong to you.
