Re:SAGE: A Test to Detect Signs of Alzheimer's and Dementia by d0mine on Friday November 24, 2017 @11:26AM (#15771605)
There is "I have finished/done" phrase mentioned in the middle of the test to answer later "Have you finished?"/"Are you done?" question at the end of the test (though it seems easier than memorizing 4 words compared to 3 words that form a meaningful phrase that is the answer to the immediate suggestive question).

There is a question on naming 12 different things in a kitchen/countries (also easier -- no time limit, no constraint on the first letter).

"The test has a sensitivity of 79 percent and a false positive rate of 5 percent in detecting cognitive impairment from normal subjects." btw, you don't need the perfect score to be considered "normal" by the test.
