Memory is the meta and final section of the COCOA Test. Several words are given.

Solve Path

 

Since this is a meta, the answers from the other rounds are given. They are: BOOST, RAN, STEADY, HER, ON, and ARENA. The instructions also suggest to find words that are in the categories provided. As it turns out, each category has a transaddition (adding one letter and then anagramming) from an answer, as follows:

Clue	Answer	Feeder Answer	Added letter
President	REAGAN	ARENA	G
Place	HERE	HER	E
City	BOSTON	BOOST	N
Country	IRAN	RAN	I
Day	TUESDAY	STEADY	U
Relative	SON	ON	S

The added letters spell out GENIUS, the answer.
