If you can get through 5 of this test, then you can cancel a planned visit to a neurologist. Your brain is still good and away from Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear after age 60.
