| Score range | 0–30 | 0–24 | 0–21 | 0–10 | 0–30 |
| Practice test | No | No | Yes | No | Yes |
aAn audio file containing a list of 10 words is played to the patient. Following that, the patient recalls as many words as possible and speak them aloud. This task is repeated 2 more times (3 trials in total) using the same word list.
bFirst, a sequence of letters is played via an audio file. Then, the patient should sort a set of numbers in descending order within a certain time period (this task is only for delaying the response). After time is up, the patient recalls and types the letters that were read to him or her earlier.
cA set of letter-number sequences are displayed on the screen one by one. Each sequence is played via an audio file to the patient. Following that, the patient sorts the numbers and letters of the sequence and types them.
dIn this task, the patient should recall the same words that were played in the first list learning task and speak them aloud. No audio is played for the patient in this task.
eA table including 6 letters and their matching codes (a combination of circles and asterisks) is shown to the patient. In 30 seconds, the patient enters the matching letters of 30 random codes one by one.
