    Didn’t Donbald say it gets super-hard when the questions get up to 20 or 25 or something?

    If we are talking about MoCA, there are only 11 questions on the versions I’ve seen. What is he even talking about when he challenges AOC and Jasmine Crocket to take the test? It’s not a test to prove how smart you are, but he’s there talking about how “low IQ” they are and how tough this cognitive exam is. It’s not even close to the flex he thinks it is.

    Someone needs to take the keys away from Grandpa…

      The MOCA is scored up to 30 points with 26 being a ‘normal’ score. My assumption is he’s talking about achieving that score is difficult, not getting that many questions correct.

      Source : Someone else posted the test in this thread and it’s at the top in the scoring instructions

        He continued, “Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don’t think Jasmine– The first couple questions are easy: a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions.”

        Indeed. But he used the word “questions”, and so I don’t know if in his addled brain he’s confusing the score with the number of questions. I see 11 questions in the versions I could find.

        Some Intrepid Reporter ™ should ask him for an example of the type of questions you have at 10, 20, and 25… :)
