Brief Answer:
The test scores explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

A score of dementia of 100% (or 30 points) means that there is no dementia or MCI.

A score of 24 suggests mild dementia, 13 to 20 suggests moderate dementia, and less than 12 indicates severe dementia.

The interval 24-29 points are considered a grey zone and follow up is necessary.

Hope I answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
