Which Tests Are Recommended For A Patient Having Memory Loss?

I have the apoe4 gene. I am 70 years old and I failed the memory test at my primary physicians. He has referred me to a neurogist. I know my memory is slipping. What tests should I ask for. I am terrified because my mother had alzheimers. YYYY@YYYY .
