30. he says he scored a 35..... out of 30???
Mon Jul 20, 2020, 08:18 AM
Jul 2020

That's just like him to think he's the best of everything. I administer this test all the time in clinic and most people do NOT score a perfect score (30). Even young people with full cognitive function somtimes miss something - like remembering the five words after I've tripped them up with lots of other questions. I know the answers and I still wouldn't score a perfect score.
