Is Level 6 a good number memory score?

A Level 6 number memory score lands squarely in the Fast tier β€” meaningfully above the typical adult. You are in the top quartile of test-takers and ahead of most people on their first attempt. Level 6 is the canonical Fast threshold for number memory score performance. Buckets at the exact cutoff like this one are the anchor points commercial benchmarks use for tier calibration. Against the standard benchmarks, your Level 6 score is 2 levels past the Elite cutoff (Level 8), exactly at the Fast cutoff (Level 6), and 2 levels ahead of the Average cutoff (Level 4). The neighboring indexed buckets are Level 5 (Average) and Level 8 (Elite). Take the Number Memory Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions

Is Level 6 a good number memory score?

Yes β€” Level 6 is in the Fast tier, comfortably above the average band (Level 4). Most untrained adults would not hit this on a typical attempt.

How does Level 6 compare to the average?

The Average threshold on the Number Memory Test is Level 4. Your Level 6 is in the Fast band relative to that. Elite performers cross Level 8; Fast performers cross Level 6.

How can someone push past Level 6?

Consistent practice β€” same environment, same time of day, same input device β€” is the biggest lever. Take the Number Memory Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (Level 6) and Elite (Level 8) thresholds over a few weeks.
