Probably depends on state or whatever what requirements are.
They had me do a test using a VR headset, and I was like "Oh this will be fun!"
No, it wasn't. I had to stare at a VR aquarium and press a button based on instructions for 20 minutes like
"If you see a clown fish, then a blue fish, press the button" or
"If you hear me say Sturgeon, or you see a clown fish, press the button"
"Press the button if you hear the name of any fish that isn't a clown fish, or see any fish that isn't a sturgeon"
Apparently I did VERY poorly on instruction switching, with it taking several minutes between tasks for me to get the instructions down where they like bleed together. Also like little kids would walk in front of me, or a phone would ring, or TVS would flash.
