In high school we took an example of a literacy test that was completely different. It asked questions about the contents of the constitution. For example, one question was the exact date that the new Congress starts. No one, even in AP US History, would have been able to vote.
Of course, the real problem with the tests were the grandfather clauses ("If your grandfather voted, you automatically qualify"), white people administering the tests, and pure intimidation if you tried to vote.
