There's no particular type of math that you need to know that's beyond basic algebra, geometry, probability and statistics (the math itself might even be high school level), but the questions can be complicated and all ask for applications rather than just execution. The questions are probably in between SAT-math level and GRE-math level.

Here are some sample questions from the exam bank that didn't make the cut to the final exam:

Plant A is 10 inches tall, and Plant B is 20 inches tall. If Plant A shrinks 2 inches per year and Plant B grows 2 of an inch per year, how tall will Plant B be when Plant A disappears altogether?

Let A and B be two finite sets such that n(A) = 20, n(B) = 28 and n(A ∪ B) = 36, find n(A ∩ B).

A passenger train and a freight train leave atown at the same time and travel in opposite directions. Their speeds are 60 mph and 75 mph, respectively. How long will it take for the trains to be 297 miles apart?

wow, that's a joke                          
Excelsior's UExcel Contemporary Mathematics seems to cover the same material and its lower level

I expected an upper level course to be more like UExcel's Quantitative Analysis
