Is 85% a good task switching accuracy?
A 85% task switching accuracy lands squarely in the Fast tier — meaningfully above the typical adult. You are in the top quartile of test-takers and ahead of most people on their first attempt. 85% is the canonical Fast threshold for task switching accuracy performance. Against the standard benchmarks, your 85% score is 10 points past the Elite cutoff (95%), exactly at the Fast cutoff (85%), and 15 points ahead of the Average cutoff (70%). The neighboring indexed buckets are 80% (Average) and 90% (Fast). Take the Task Switching Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions
Is 85% a good task switching accuracy?
Yes — 85% is in the Fast tier, comfortably above the average band (70%). Most untrained adults would not hit this on a typical attempt.
How does 85% compare to the average?
The Average threshold on the Task Switching Test is 70%. Your 85% is in the Fast band relative to that. Elite performers cross 95%; Fast performers cross 85%.
How can someone push past 85%?
Consistent practice — same environment, same time of day, same input device — is the biggest lever. Take the Task Switching Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (85%) and Elite (95%) thresholds over a few weeks.
