" The MOCA is basically a thirty point test where people aim to score 26 or higher is probably the best short screening test that is out there. It’s really helpful as it also covers visual spatial abilities, where many tests don’t. It has a section about language, and a short term memory section which is helpful in screening for alzheimer’s disease. "
