Direct answer
You draw a circle, add numbers (usually 1–12), and set the hour and minute hands as instructed. Clinicians score spacing, symmetry, and hand placement; our tool gives automated feedback for learning.
How it works
Use a mouse, trackpad, or touch to draw on the canvas, then submit. Read the target time carefully before you start. Repeat only to practice—the goal is familiarity with the task, not “passing” a medical screen alone.
Tool
What results mean
Automated scoring here is simplified. Many non-dementia factors (vision, tremor, anxiety) affect drawing. Only a professional can integrate the clock with history and other tests.
FAQ
Why is the clock test used in dementia screening?
It taps planning, visual organization, and working memory in one quick task.
Do I need special equipment?
No—just a modern browser. For best results, use a larger screen if drawing feels awkward on mobile.
Is this scored like a hospital test?
Scoring systems vary; this implementation is for education, not clinical certification.
