What test are they doing today to determine AD?

The SAGE test is a 12-question exam that measures cognitive functioning and may help a physician determine whether Alzheimer's is present. It's recommended that you bring your completed test to a medical professional who can score and interpret the results. If necessary, your doctors will provide further screening.

Below is a link to find the SAGE test:

I can't remember what the basic one is called but the extensive testing takes hours. You need a Neurologist for accurate testing. They can also determine what type of Dementia they have. This is important because of meds given.
