I've taken the MoCA cognitive test every 4 months the last two years.....
as part of a drug study.
There are at least 3 versions of the test. Maybe more.
So out of 6 times, I got 30 correct 4 times and got 29 correct 2 times.
One of the 29 was because I missed the day of the month. I said the 15th and it was the 16th. I was working from home and just really not paying attention to the date.
The other miss was the 5 word memory test and I only remembered 4 of them. Order does not matter.
26 or higher is still passing.
And the 4 times I got a perfect score not one of the doctors running the test said "‘That’s amazing. How did you do that?’", it is very common for people to get 30.
He is just making stuff up.

my work shift starts and ends on different days 
I wondered why the line was SO long - the teenaged girls in front of me said, OH it's always like this on Fridays....I replied, it's FRIDAY?
a grade schooler is "smart" enough to pass it.
It's a test of awareness and cognitive strength. Haven't taken it myself, but it doesn't look very intimidating. I am mid 60's, though, and I can tell I'm not as sharp as I was 20 years ago. Hell, I "passed" my blood test last month, and I didn't even have to study.
