What is a 6×6 Schulte Table?
The 6×6 Schulte Table contains 36 numbers (1–36) arranged randomly in a 6×6 grid. It represents a significant step up from the standard 5×5, requiring substantially more peripheral vision and sustained attention. The wider grid means numbers are harder to spot without moving your eyes, making it an excellent tool for advanced peripheral vision training. Athletes, speed readers, and cognitive performance enthusiasts often use the 6×6 as their primary training grid.

Tips to Improve Your 6×6 Speed
Expand Your Visual Field
The 6x6 requires seeing a wider area. Practice relaxing your eyes to take in more of the grid at once.
Divide the Grid Mentally
Some users find it helpful to mentally divide the 6x6 into quadrants and scan each section.
Master 5×5 First
Ensure you can complete the 5x5 in under 35 seconds before attempting the 6x6 regularly.
Slow Down to Speed Up
Rushing causes more errors. A calm, methodical approach often yields faster times.
Improve Your Focus Today
Practice 5–10 minutes daily and see measurable improvement within 2–3 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good 6x6 Schulte Table time?
A good time for the 6x6 Schulte Table is under 55 seconds. Intermediate users average 55–90 seconds, while experts complete it in under 30 seconds.
Is the 6x6 much harder than the 5x5?
Yes, the 6x6 is significantly harder. It has 36 numbers vs 25, and the wider grid makes peripheral scanning more demanding. Expect your times to be roughly double your 5x5 times initially.
How many numbers are in a 6x6 Schulte Table?
A 6x6 Schulte Table contains 36 numbers (1 through 36) arranged randomly in a 6-row by 6-column grid.
Should I practice 6x6 or 5x5 daily?
Both. Use the 5x5 for speed training and the 6x6 for endurance and peripheral vision expansion. Alternating between sizes produces the best results.
Can the 6x6 improve speed reading?
Yes, the 6x6 is particularly effective for speed reading training because it forces your eyes to cover a wider visual field, directly mimicking the eye movements used in fast reading.
