The Abbreviated Mental Test Score (AMTS) is a classic 10-item bedside cognitive screen used in geriatric and acute-care workflows. Each correct response scores 1 point (total 0-10). Lower scores indicate greater cognitive concern.
Formula: AMTS total = number of correct responses across 10 items (0-10).
AMTS has been used for decades as a practical 10-item cognitive screen, with broad adaptation across healthcare settings.
Lower AMTS scores indicate greater cognitive impairment signal and support follow-up diagnostic evaluation.
Use as a rapid bedside cognitive triage screen when short administration time is required.
Scores may be affected by education, language, sensory impairment, and acute illness/delirium; AMTS alone is not diagnostic.
For related assessments, see 6CIT, SBT and MoCA Score.
