Is Level 4 a good paired memory score?
A Level 4 paired memory score sits in the Elite tier — faster than the vast majority of people who take a benchmark like this. This is the band you see in trained athletes, competitive gamers, and people who have spent years building reflex speed. Level 4 is the canonical Elite cutoff used in paired memory score benchmarks. Against the standard benchmarks, your Level 4 score is exactly at the Elite cutoff (Level 4), 1 levels ahead of the Fast cutoff (Level 3), and 2 levels ahead of the Average cutoff (Level 2). The nearest indexed bucket is Level 3 (Fast). Take the Paired Memory Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions
Is Level 4 a good paired memory score?
Yes — Level 4 is in the Elite tier, comfortably above the average band (Level 2). Most untrained adults would not hit this on a typical attempt.
How does Level 4 compare to the average?
The Average threshold on the Paired Memory Test is Level 2. Your Level 4 is in the Elite band relative to that. Elite performers cross Level 4; Fast performers cross Level 3.
How can someone push past Level 4?
Consistent practice — same environment, same time of day, same input device — is the biggest lever. Take the Paired Memory Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (Level 3) and Elite (Level 4) thresholds over a few weeks.
