It's a standard test for older people and those who may have induced impairment, like a stroke.

You are told a few words (usually 3 - 5) and asked to remember them.
You draw a clock face and show where the hands go for a specific time, like 9:30
You can accurately answer a few simple questions like "Who is the president?" "What day of the week is it?"
You are asked what the few words were that you were told at the beginning.
