It is possible, though rare, to score 30/30 on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) even with a dementing illness like Alzheimer's, as some patients, especially those on cognitive-enhancing drugs, can mask early deficits, or the illness might not yet significantly impact the specific areas tested, highlighting the MMSE's limitations as a screening tool for early dementia.
