Step 6 Score for subdomain C (1)

(1) Calculate a score for each question in subdomain C (1) as follows:

(a) locate the value in column 3 of the following table that corresponds to the answer code for the question in column 2;

(b) copy this value into column 4 of the table.

(2) Calculate the age‑adjusted score for each question as follows:

(a) locate the score for the appropriate age category in the age adjustment table in step 13, and copy this score into column 5 of the following table;

(b) divide the raw score in column 4 by the score in column 5.

(3) Calculate the total score for subdomain C (1) by adding the age‑adjusted scores in column 6.
