Is 350 ms a good reaction time?

A 350 ms reaction time falls into the Below Average band โ€” slower than the majority of test-takers. Do not over-read a single score: fatigue, distraction, and a cold start can each shift this kind of result by a wide margin. 350 ms is the conventional Below Average anchor for reaction time. Against the standard benchmarks, your 350 ms score is 170 ms past the Elite cutoff (180 ms), 130 ms past the Fast cutoff (220 ms), and 70 ms past the Average cutoff (280 ms). The neighboring indexed buckets are 300 ms (Below Average) and 400 ms (Below Average). Take the Reaction Time Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions

Is 350 ms a good reaction time?

350 ms sits in the Below Average band. The Average reference is 280 ms and the Fast reference is 220 ms, so you have clear room to improve with practice.

How does 350 ms compare to the average?

The Average threshold on the Reaction Time Test is 280 ms. Your 350 ms is in the Below Average band relative to that. Elite performers cross 180 ms; Fast performers cross 220 ms.

How can someone improve from 350 ms?

Consistent practice โ€” same environment, same time of day, same input device โ€” is the biggest lever. Take the Reaction Time Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (220 ms) and Elite (180 ms) thresholds over a few weeks.
