Is Level 9 a good pattern recall score?
A Level 9 pattern recall 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 9 is the canonical Elite cutoff used in pattern recall score benchmarks. Against the standard benchmarks, your Level 9 score is exactly at the Elite cutoff (Level 9), 3 levels ahead of the Fast cutoff (Level 6), and 5 levels ahead of the Average cutoff (Level 4). The neighboring indexed buckets are Level 8 (Fast) and Level 10 (Elite). Take the Pattern Recall Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions
Is Level 9 a good pattern recall score?
Yes — Level 9 is in the Elite tier, comfortably above the average band (Level 4). Most untrained adults would not hit this on a typical attempt.
How does Level 9 compare to the average?
The Average threshold on the Pattern Recall Test is Level 4. Your Level 9 is in the Elite band relative to that. Elite performers cross Level 9; Fast performers cross Level 6.
How can someone push past Level 9?
Consistent practice — same environment, same time of day, same input device — is the biggest lever. Take the Pattern Recall Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (Level 6) and Elite (Level 9) thresholds over a few weeks.
