    What a disaster it was! AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical,” continued the commander-in-chief. “As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right.

    So does acing a cognitive test means you have cognitive decline or not?

      As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.

      The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.

      “Aceing” the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.
