They let you use a calculator and give you the basic formulas that might be needed (so you don't even need to remember how to figure the midpoint on a line between two points for instance).
There were a number of "everyday" math problems that any adult should be able to do ("a contractor charges a flat fee for starting a job plus an hourly wage. If the flat fee is $45 and he works for three hours and charges a total of $145.50 - what is his hourly wage?" )
There were no questions that I considered difficult for any adult with multiple degrees (and therefore presumably acceptable SAT and GRE scores).
On edit (I love that DU3 lets you edit things so much later!) -
The test isn't multiple choice. So my earlier comment on his performance is a bit off base. He said that he didn't know how to do any of the problems and only got a few of them right because he guessed correctly... but this had to be at least a somewhat "educated" guess. The score is still clearly failing (and IIRC you can't graduate from HS in FL without passing) and there's no exuse in my mind for being accepted into a postgraduate program with this level of ignorance (let alone award multiple graduate degrees and a slot on a school board)... but it's not the total disaster that was implied by his comments and an assumption that it was a multiple-choice exam. Frankly I can't see how he could earn even an undergraduate degree in education.
