I'm homeschooled, so I have something called the California Achievement Test (number here, based on age). I usually get something around "top 2%" because it's all really simple stuff I learned four years ago.
Like
"Which word fits both sentences?
The baby was crying so it needed a _____.
Laura ate some of the fruit but couldn't finish the _____.
(A) Nap
(B) Orange
© Rest
(D) Sandwich"

That's actually one of the questions from the quiz that I remember -- I'm sure I didn't put down all the same ABCD choices but the sentences and the correct answer are straight from the test.
Most of them are slightly more difficult than that, but it's still simple. The math section is probably the most time-consuming, but there's nothing harder than 4-digit multiplication and when you have just 4 choices, it's easy to approximate the right one.

I checked the advanced grammar section.
That looked like it should be the "basic grammar" section on a 5th-grade pre-assessment.
And yes, the CAT tests reuse questions a lot too. I've looked at my then-9-year-old sister's test before doing mine last year, and about 1 every 20 questions there was one that was in both. And it gets worse as you get closer in grades -- I'm almost sure that the 8th-grade test is more than 75% the same as the 9th-grade test.
