PickTests's answer

PickTests started as a small independent project built one browser test at a time.

The goal was to create focused online tests that load quickly, are easy to understand, and do not require an account. After the first few tests were released, the project gradually expanded into a collection covering reaction time, memory, attention, aiming, and visual tracking.

The current focus is not only adding more tests, but also improving the existing experience, including mobile interactions, result pages, and local progress tracking.

Calcumber's answer:

When starting for a Master of Advances Study in Energy Systems, I was looking for a suitable state-of-the-art calculator. Then I built my own Calculator Calcumber and now the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences is using Calcumber for teaching students in thermodynamics.

PickTests's answer

PickTests is mainly for students, gamers, curious web users, and anyone who wants to test their reaction time, memory, focus, attention, or aiming skills.

It is also useful for people who want a quick personal benchmark and would like to repeat a test later to compare their own results.

Calcumber's answer:

• The notebook-style calculator is great for everybody who wants more than just a single line calculator.
• The sharing and embedding features make it Calcumber very well suited for teachers and students. The power of consistently using units is shown immediatly.
• Engineers will like the unit support, sharing calculations with collegues and if needed the built-in fluid properties calculation.
