The original Sunderland method for scoring the CDT.10

10-6 Drawing of clock face with circle and numbers is generally intact.
10 Hands are in correct position.
9 Slight errors in placement of hands.
8 More noticeable errors in placement of hour and minute hands.
7 Placement of hands is significantly off course.
6 Inappropriate use of clock hands (i.e., use of digital display or circling of numbers despite repeated instructions).
5-1 Drawing of a clock face with circle and numbers is not intact.
5 Crowding of numbers at one end of the clock or reversal of numbers. Hands may still be present in some fashion.
4 Further distortion of number sequence. Integrity of clock face is now gone (i.e., numbers missing or placed at outside of the boundaries of the clock face).
3 Numbers and clock face no longer obviously connected in drawing. Hands are not present.
2 Drawing reveals some evidence of instructions being received but only a vague representation of a clock.
1 Either no attempt or an uninterpretable effort is made.
