I have to take a moca memory test . I am so scared, because I took it online and I only got 21 out of 30.
That word recall comes after a lot of hard questions. I do not see how you can retain words that way.
 

A score of 21 out of 30 is not bad. According to Wikipedia "a score of 26 or over is considered to be normal. In a study, people without cognitive impairment scored an average of 27.4; people with MCI scored an average of 22.1" But note the word 'average'. Thus I wouldn't be shocked by this result.

21 out of 30 isn't bad Tara. My husband would have failed this test when he was in his 30's. He had a business for 30 years and many years ago, he had a lunch with a couple of clients. He sat there for over an hour across the table. Two hours later, he met one of them again, passing in the hall of a tower and couldn't for the life of him, remember where he'd seen them....they looked familiar..... so your 21 seems pretty good for an older person.
