Checked it out. Actual math is trivial (too trivial, in ex-USSR most of that is covered by 5th-6th grade, or 12-13 y.o.), but the test itself is horrible imo. Multiple-choice sucks for math, by design it tends to focus on minutiae of definitions or your knowledge of exact approaches taught in school; also too many trick questions (like X axis labeled with uneven steps, who does that at all and how is this relevant to statistics understanding?) and questions like:
---------------------------------------------
Look at the pattern below.
2.6, −5.2, 10.4, −20.8, . . .
If this pattern continues, what is the sixth term?
-------------------------------------------------------
which sound like a bad IQ test where any answer is valid but you need to guess what test designer had in mind that evening.
Probably because they had a checklist of "competencies" and tried to separately test each of them.
