Is Level 9 a good visual memory score?
A Level 9 visual memory score lands squarely in the Fast tier — meaningfully above the typical adult. You are in the top quartile of test-takers and ahead of most people on their first attempt. Level 9 is the canonical Fast threshold for visual memory score performance. Against the standard benchmarks, your Level 9 score is 3 levels past the Elite cutoff (Level 12), exactly at the Fast cutoff (Level 9), and 3 levels ahead of the Average cutoff (Level 6). The neighboring indexed buckets are Level 8 (Average) and Level 10 (Fast). Take the Visual Memory Test to see how your live performance compares.

Frequently asked questions
Is Level 9 a good visual memory score?
Yes — Level 9 is in the Fast tier, comfortably above the average band (Level 6). Most untrained adults would not hit this on a typical attempt.
How does Level 9 compare to the average?
The Average threshold on the Visual Memory Test is Level 6. Your Level 9 is in the Fast band relative to that. Elite performers cross Level 12; Fast performers cross Level 9.
How can someone push past Level 9?
Consistent practice — same environment, same time of day, same input device — is the biggest lever. Take the Visual Memory Test a few times per week, sleep well, and watch how your score drifts toward the Fast (Level 9) and Elite (Level 12) thresholds over a few weeks.
