A test similar to that (the MOCA) is the test Trump was given. The word repetition isn't at the end of the visit in the test, but I believe it is at the end of the test - so I can't tell from your description whether you took that specific test - but it is certainly similar. (It only detects very significant declines in cognitive ability).
