Aim Test

Measure mouse speed, accuracy and tracking with a 30-second aim test.

A mouse is required. For touchscreen tapping, try the CPS Test.

What does this aim test measure?

This online aim test measures mouse target acquisition and continuous tracking in two separate 30-second tasks. In the clicking aim test, acquire one stationary target at a time and hit it with the left mouse button. In the tracking aim test, keep your pointer inside a moving target without clicking. Each mode has its own result and progress chart.

The aim test is a two-dimensional pointer task. It does not measure recoil control, positioning, game knowledge or your FPS rank. Use it to observe mouse control under repeatable rules.

How to take the aim test

  1. Use a mouse and keep the aim area fully visible. Choose Clicking or Tracking.
  2. Select Start Aim Test. A three-second countdown gives you time to get ready; the start button does not award a hit.
  3. For Clicking, hit the 32-pixel targets. A left click elsewhere inside the area counts as a miss. For Tracking, follow the 40-pixel target moving at 120 pixels per second and bouncing at the edges.
  4. Complete the full 30 seconds. Space, Enter, right clicks, touch and pen do not score hits.
  5. Read the result, rest your hand, then repeat or open the corresponding practice drill.

Escape or Cancel round stops the attempt without saving a score. Switching tabs, losing focus, changing the area's size or a significant interruption also stops the round.

Understanding your aim test results

MetricHow it is calculatedHow to read it
Hits per secondSuccessful hits ÷ 30 secondsAcquisition pace; read it with accuracy.
AccuracyHits ÷ (hits + misses) × 100No clicks means no accuracy value, rather than 100%.
Median acquisitionMedian time from each target appearing to its hitIncludes movement and corrections after misses; lower values mean faster completed acquisitions.
Time on targetTime with the pointer inside the moving target ÷ 30 seconds × 100Tracking coverage over the entire round.
Longest streakLongest uninterrupted time inside the moving targetOne sustained tracking segment, read alongside total coverage.

For example, 60 hits and 15 misses in the clicking aim test produce 2.00 hits per second and 80% accuracy. This is an arithmetic example, not a recommended score. The final unhit target is recorded separately in the full results because it has no completed acquisition time. All misses still count toward accuracy, and the full 30 seconds count toward pace.

What is a good aim test score?

A useful aim test score is one you can compare fairly. Establish your own baseline over several rounds, then review the recent average and personal best for that same mode and setup. Faster clicking with lower accuracy is a trade-off; a high accuracy percentage with very few hits says little about speed. For tracking, review both coverage and the longest continuous streak.

We do not have a validated population benchmark for this task. The aim test therefore reports your measurements and personal comparisons without claiming a professional tier or global rank.

How to get comparable aim test results

Keep mouse settings, browser zoom, display and window size consistent. The history groups rounds by mode, measurement version, duration, target settings, area dimensions and display scale. It cannot detect every device setting, such as your mouse DPI, so keep those stable yourself.

The chart shows up to 20 recent matching rounds. The average uses those rounds; personal best uses all saved matching rounds. Up to 200 rounds are kept per page in this browser. The old mixed Aim score and earlier accuracy records use different rules and are removed, not converted.

What to practice next

  • If pace rises while accuracy falls, try Precision practice and confirm the target before clicking.
  • If accuracy is stable, try Flick practice at a slightly quicker comfortable pace while watching misses.
  • To work on continuous following, choose Tracking practice and adjust one setting at a time.

Frequently asked

Is this aim test free?
Yes. Both aim test modes run in your browser without an account or download. Completed results are saved on this browser when local storage is available.
What is a good aim test score?
Use several rounds with the same settings as your personal baseline. Compare hits per second with accuracy, or compare tracking time on target. This aim test does not assign a professional rank or a population percentile.
Is target acquisition the same as reaction time?
No. Target acquisition includes noticing the target, moving the pointer, correcting the movement and clicking. Misses before a hit remain part of that target's acquisition time. A reaction time test uses a different task.
Can I take the aim test on a phone?
The aim test requires a mouse. Touch and pen input do not count because reaching directly to a screen is different from moving a mouse pointer. A device with an attached mouse can work, but compare only matching conditions.
Can I compare my aim test score with other websites?
Not directly. Target size, target spacing, timing and scoring differ. Use this aim test to compare your own results under matching conditions, rather than treating scores from different tools as equivalent.
Why did my round stop?
Changing tabs, losing focus, resizing the aim area or a significant interruption stops the round without saving a completed score. Keep the window stable and the aim area in focus, then start again.
Where are my aim test results saved?
Up to 200 completed rounds are stored in this browser. Matching modes, settings, area dimensions and display scale are grouped for comparison. Clearing browser data removes them. Earlier incompatible Aim scores are removed when the new measurement system loads.
