Would love to see a sample test

As would I. I seriously doubt that the teacher's certification exam requires them to do linear algebra or differential equations...

Many elementary and secondary teachers nowadays have education degrees, not degrees in a subject that is taught in the lower level schools. I am of the opinion that education ought to be a minor added on to a baccalaureate degree in whatever subject (English, mathematics, chemistry, etc.) the person intends to teach.

No lie. I did 1640 on the GRE's and my math sucks.

I suspect that the test should more accurately be called an "arithmetic" test.

I call myself a triple major...education, math, and English. I needed the least amount of hours in English--27.
