Did you find this assessment harder than the SLUMS?

[@chauvettes]

I have LBD and I guess I've taken the MoCA about 2 dozen times. Still getting good scores so I have a long way to go. Love the series of videos!

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

Thanks for watching and hope your brain stays strong for a long time. Stay active and stay engaged as long as you can :)

[@kevinolesik1500]

These are such great videos very informative ... Thank you ...

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

Thank you for watching!

I'm 68, clear headed in my opinion and I surprised myself at how frequently I had to pause this video. The questions were coming faster than I could answer! There's a lot about time in the MOCA test but no mention if there's a time limit for answers. What's the likelihood that this comment will be addressed on a 2yr old video for a NEW SUBSCRIBER?😁👍

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

I'm not certain if there is a time limit to administer the test, but since it is considered a rapid test, it should only take about 10-12 minutes to administer. That being said, I've spent anywhere from 15-20 minutes giving the assessment depending on the needs of the person. Some people need a bit more time to comprehend the questions or provide the answers. Hope this helps. Reach out if you have any more questions. Thank you!

[@56nickrich]

@@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers Your response ts greatly appreciated. I plan to view your videos over the summer so expect some activity on some older ones. 😁👍

[@Peteyzee98]

[@clariceteresinhadelazeride2134]

Tem em português?

[@truhunk1]

I forget why i clicked on this video?

[@soltantio]

I'm confused about how to score the last one. I got everything right except the date but it seems like you lose 6 points just for that?

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

On the orientation section, you get a point for each one that is correct. So, if you only missed the date, you scored 5/6.

[@BonnieEwert]

If they draw their own clock rather than use the circle provided, do they get it as incorrect for not following instruction?

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

No, they can draw their own circle if they want. Just so long as the numbers and clock hands are drawn correctly.

[@BonnieEwert]

@@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers thank you.

[@daltonkingmoreno3718]

i hope that there is a asnwer keys so thati can review my mistakes 😢

[@gus892]

I think this test is overly confusing in that , one is asked many complex questions after many other complex questions. not real life situation . its biased in giving a point to one group . Also at the start it states mark A go to 1 then B . and so on. On to what ? Also what subtract 7 from 100 has to do with driving ? as this is used in senior evaluation tests.

[@Potencyfunction]

🤣 You need to remember indeed. And never repeat it unless you have other mental disorder. Like compulsions to keep doing same things like a dement.

[@walidsarwary]

Can you prepare in advance for this test

[@CrackingtheCodeforCaregivers]

You shouldn't. Cognitive tests are supposed to be given without you having any prior knowledge as to what you will be asked.

[@worrywart1311]

Always be ready with the day and date and name of the head of government. A great proportion of today's young people have no clue how to read the time from a traditional clock face, so that is going to have to be dropped.....in time, lol.

[@tonystorcke]

Joe Biden.... Where are you ?
