    Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    • 30-point survey assessing orientation, memory, attention, and language.
    • Widely known but less sensitive to early or mild impairment.

    3. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

    • Also a 30-point test, but better captures executive function and mild cognitive impairment.
    • Takes about 10 minutes and has high sensitivity (~90%) and good specificity (~87%).

    4. Blessed Information–Memory–Concentration (BOMC) / Short Blessed Test

    • Short, 6-item test focused on orientation, memory, and concentration.
    • Easy to administer (~2–3 minutes), though less comprehensive in domain coverage.
      MDPI

    5. General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG)

    • Used in primary care, includes both cognitive testing and informant interview.
    • Quick (under 4 minutes) and improves predictive accuracy when paired with informant report.

    6. Self‑Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE)

    • Allows patients to self-complete testing of orientation, language, memory, executive function, and visuospatial skills.
    • Roughly 10–15 minutes; sensitivity ~79%, specificity ~95%, compares favorably with MMSE/MoCA.

    7. Abbreviated Mental Test Score (AMTS)

    • Very short 10-question assessment (e.g., age, time, date, address recall).
    • Useful in emergency or hospital settings; quick to administer and straightforward.
      Wikipedia

    8. Clock Drawing Test (CDT)

    • Simplicity itself: draw a clock showing a specific time.
    • Assesses visuospatial and executive skills; often used in combination with other tools like Mini‑Cog.

    Additional Tools (More Comprehensive or Specialized)

    • Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE-III): Covers attention, memory, language, fluency, and visuospatial processing in detail.
      Wikipedia
    • CAMCOG‑R (Cambridge Cognitive Examination – Revised), Trail Making Test (TMT), Verbal Fluency, ADAS‑Cog, and other neuropsychological measures are used in clinical or research settings for deeper cognitive profiling.
