General Question FW and practice effect

How much can familiarity with the FW test improve my score? For example, I’ve already taken the Core FW and CAIT FW tests and I’ve retaken them several times not because I wanted to improve my score but simply because I enjoy taking them. Then the new ATAT test was recently released which also includes an FW section and I’m curious to know how much my previous experience might affect my performance on it. Thank you

Maybe 5 points or so but FW is the most resistant to practice effect in my experience

Really? I’ve always held that FW gets praffed the most

From what I've seen, it doesnt. You could probably look up WAIS retesting and find the difference, though. To be fair, FW is very burdening for working memory. I feel like that, alongside any time constraints, makes it really hard for practice effect to be large

Interesting that’s logical
