How To Prepare

  • Choose a quiet time without interruptions.
  • Answer based on your typical pattern over recent weeks, not your best or worst day.
  • Keep results to discuss with a clinician for formal interpretation.

How To Use This Test Well

Step 1

Complete the screener

Run the AQ-10 Screening exactly as instructed and answer every item once.

Step 2

Record score and context

Save your score, date, and key symptom examples from that week.

Step 3

Use for discussion, not self-diagnosis

Bring results to your clinician and compare against sleep, anxiety, medication, and metabolic confounders.

What To Watch For

  • Single score should not be treated as diagnosis.
  • Major sleep deprivation or acute stress can distort results.
  • Repeat only when conditions are comparable.

Result Context

normal

Within lab range; compare with your target context (Score <6).

Result may be acceptable but still needs symptom correlation and trend review.

borderline

Near thresholds or inconsistent with symptoms.

Consider repeat testing, timing factors, and related markers before conclusions.

abnormal

Outside expected range or clearly discordant with baseline.

Use clinician-guided follow-up and structured differential workup.

What To Do Next

  • Save the result with date and symptoms from the same week.
  • Review alongside related tests instead of interpreting in isolation.
  • Use one concrete next step in your panel plan.
