The tests scare me... they sound hard. But then again, writing a cheque, a task that used to take like 2 mins, now takes me at least 30 mins and may or may not be correct at the end... I can't pay cash reliably and be sure I give and get correct change, filling out questionnaires confuse me, etc etc... so these will definitely be a challenge.

Hi Starr. Try not to stress over it. In mine, they started with easy questions (5+3= ? ) and worked up to harder ones until I "failed" at answering the question, the point being seeing where your ability to process the various test question ends, and if that place is within a normal range.
Regarding the mood disorders, on mine they did a Beck Anxiety and Depression inventory which is self reported.
Consider that it's a diagnostic tool, the outcome to of which is to evaluate where you are, with a goal of identifying next steps in your recovery.
