LRPV Score Explained: What It Means for Your FAA Medical

Understanding Your LRPV Score
The LRPV (Logistic Regression Probability Value) is perhaps the most important metric in your CogScreen-AE evaluation. It's the composite score that AMEs use to assess cognitive dysfunction risk.
What is LRPV?
LRPV is calculated from your performance across 9 key subtests using a logistic regression model. It produces a probability value between 0 and 1 that indicates the likelihood of cognitive dysfunction.
LRPV Thresholds
Understanding these thresholds is crucial:
| LRPV Range | Risk Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| < 0.60 | Low Risk | Normal cognitive function |
| 0.60 - 0.70 | Moderate Risk | May warrant further evaluation |
| > 0.70 | High Risk | Considered abnormal |
The 9 Subtests That Determine LRPV
Your LRPV is calculated from:
- Backward Digit Span - Working memory
- Math Test - Quantitative reasoning
- Visual Sequence Comparison - Visual processing speed
- Symbol Digit Coding - Processing speed and attention
- Matching to Sample - Visual memory
- Manikin Test - Spatial orientation
- Divided Attention Test - Multi-tasking ability
- Pathfinder - Executive function
- Auditory Sequence Comparison - Auditory processing
How to Improve Your LRPV
The good news: LRPV can be improved through targeted practice.
1. Identify Your Weak Areas
Use PilotPrep's analytics to see which subtests are pulling your LRPV up (worse performance = higher LRPV contribution).
2. Focus Your Practice
Spend 2:1 more time on weak areas compared to strong ones.
3. Track Progress Over Time
Monitor your LRPV trend - you should see gradual improvement with consistent practice.
4. Practice Under Realistic Conditions
Use timed sessions to build comfort with test-day pressure.
