36-point total score, 12-point recognition score.
Biased against visually impaired and poorly educated.Not as useful or sensitive as MMSE or MOCA for initial diagnosis.
Pattern of scoring correlates well with – and hence helps determine – the clinical type of dementia. Correlates well with severity of dementia as seen in poor MMSE scores. Associated score then calculated by the assessor. Good follow-up test if abnormalities are. Scoring: total score possible is 30 (like MMSE) 2630 likely normal 2025 possibly mild cognitive impairment or early dementia < 20 suspicious for dementia. Set the hands and numbers on the face so that a child could read them. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) The MoCA is an 11-item test that takes 10 to 15 minutes to administer (Nasreddine et al., 2005). Instruct the patient to draw a clock that says 1:45.

Stop timing when the Trail is completed, or when maximum time is reached (150 seconds 2.5 min). Start timing as soon as the instruction is given to begin. Still has some bias against people with poor education Test A: If Sample A is completed correctly, the administrator repeats the above instructions for Trails A. More sensitive at detection of mild dementia (100% sensitivity in some studies). More complete assessment of all aspects of cognition, including visuospacial, attention, word-finding.
