Administration
Use the official paper or digital assessment, applicable training and the correct adaptation for sensory, educational or remote-assessment needs.

Apply the selected version’s task scoring and adjustment rules. Preserve the distinction between raw task performance, any permitted adjustment and the final reported score.
Interpretation & limitations
- Interpret with the cognitive history, functioning, examination and relevant language/education context.
- A screening score alone cannot establish the cause or severity of a neurocognitive disorder.
- This page does not distribute test stimuli, model answers or an altered electronic test. Different MoCA adaptations are not interchangeable.
