Cogscreen-AE vs fully battery

[anonymous]

I’m noticing that most people are required to the do the Cogscreen-AE, then the full battery if they don’t pass. I’m the opposite. The FAA is requesting I do the full battery, and I am only required to do the Cogscreen if the results of the battery are concerning. Does anyone have a guess as to why this is backwards for me?

I have no idea if the attached PowerPoint presentation pdf by Chris Front of the FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine I found online will help, but it may provide some insight.

Here are the actual specifications. When I did it, it was a 2-day, one on one with the Dr. test. It is quite draining. One test alone had over 500 questions.

That means you likely have a compound problem, like an associated mood or anxiety disorder, just one example in which the full battery is much more telling than a cogscreen. Since you didn't say, I can't be of much more use.
