Folstein MMSE Clinical Competency Exam (VIP Edition)

Folstein — The Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a 30-point cognitive screening tool developed by Marshal F. Folstein, Susan E. Folstein, and Paul R. McHugh (1975); there is no single standardized licensing exam for administering it, but institutional competency assessments, geriatric care certifications (e.g., ANCC), and neuropsychology training programs routinely evaluate clinicians on its correct administration, scoring, and interpretation — this is an original comprehensive practice set reflecting that body of knowledge.
