In the Visual Memory: Recall Phase, you will have to remember images that you memorized during the Visual Memory: Learning Phase. Keep in mind that the Recall Phase occurs approximately 30 minutes after the Learning Phase.

A complete outline of the number of questions per sub-test and the maximum time allowed for each tutorial and sub-test is available.

Take a moment to remember the shapes from Visual Memory: Learning Phase. Don't click your "Back" button and look back now! Can you pick them out in the examples below? The answers are at the bottom of the page.

This is how the shapes will be presented later among other figures:

Note that these shapes will be presented only after you have completed the Surface Development subtest and the Block Rotation subtest.

As you see, in the Learning Phase of this subtest, it is not important to memorize the order of the shapes or where they appear on the screen. The task is to memorize the contours of the shapes and where they are blackened. In the actual test, you will have to memorize 22 shapes (15 shapes if you are a 5th or 6th grader). Use all of the time allotted wisely. Students who spend more time memorizing do better on the Recall Phase!
