Scoring
The maximum score on the Mini Mental State Exam is 30. In general, scores fall into four categories:24 – 30: "normal" range
20 – 23: mild cognitive impairment or possible early-stage/mild Alzheimer's disease
10 – 19: middle-stage/moderate Alzheimer's disease
0 – 9: late-stage/severe Alzheimer's disease
Although the Mini Mental State Exam and its scoring guidelines are useful, the MMSE shouldn't be used independently to make a diagnosis, nor should any other singular aspect of the diagnostic process. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's can only be made after a complete diagnostic workup rules out any other possible cause for the person's symptoms.
Last time she scored 7(I think it was near the end of August)! Daryl has given her this test ever since she was diagnosed!
