Was anyone able to do well on this test by memorizing the digit/symbol pairs? Like you only had to look at the given digit/symbol pairs a few times, and after that you finished the test by filling in the symbols from memory?

I referenced the table a few times before not needing it much. I got a score of 14, or the 91st percentile. It's supposed to also be a measure of visual working memory, and that can be tested directly afterwards to by taking away the reference table. On the other one, symbol search, I blazed through it and got an 18. I kinda wish that my verbal working memory was stronger. It's the reason why I have a learning disability, in my opinion.

I suck at all speed and memorization based tests.
