The Mini-BESTest protocol includes how many standardized tasks and how are they scored per item?

• A. 12 tasks, 0-2 per item.
• B. 14 tasks, 0-2 per item.
• C. 16 tasks, 0-3 per item.
• D. 14 tasks, 0-3 per item.

Answer: (B)

The Mini-BESTest is composed of fourteen standardized tasks, and each task is scored on a 0-to-2 scale, with higher scores reflecting better performance. This means the total score ranges from 0 to 28. A 0 on an item indicates unable to perform or severe impairment on that task, a 1 indicates partial performance with noticeable deficits, and a 2 indicates normal performance. The per-item 0-2 scoring is what makes the total interpretable across all tasks. The other options don’t fit because there aren’t 12 or 16 tasks, and the scoring per item isn’t 0–3.
