You might want to look at a test Jerome Epstein put together. When he did
this work he was at C.U.N.Y. Brooklyn. The first 11 questions were basic
math including ranking, fractions, percents and proportions.
The next were basic algebra questions. An example: How many 1/4 pound
slices can you get from a 6 pound salami?
