They used a 5 question test. The 5 questions came from a UK numeracy test created by National Numeracy. They chose different difficulty levels: an entry level question, a bronze level and silver level question, and two advanced level questions.
Scoring methodology used: "We took an average score of correct answers for each question then combined these scores to provide a final average and to determine a numeracy score for each state."
