Do you routinely adjust your interpretation of SLUMS and/or MOCA tests in patients depending on their level of education?

I have routinely adjusted the MOCA score based on their educational level. If their educational level is less than 8th grade, I use MOCA Basic for assessment. Personally, I have not used SLUMS for assessment, so I cannot comment on that.

Yes, will comment on education and primary language as well, adjusting as needed.
