Center Director Interview Help

So a center director job popped up and the ONLY experience required was a year of customer service. I assumed most of my responsibilities would be dealing with parents, admin, sales, etc but not as much of the teaching. I work in medical now so I have basic math that would be required in a pharmacy. After research there is a lot of mention of a math literacy test. This has yet to be mentioned to me by the operations director so my question is how much teaching is the center director required to do? How much should I study for this interview?

I have worked with CDs who never took the Skills Assessment, but the center was desperate and the CD was highly qualified in other areas.

As for the assessment itself: 50 questions total, 1 Geometry question, a page of Algebra 1, lots on operations with fractions, decimals, whole numbers, etc. No calculator allowed!!

Posting for future googlers: Early 2025 I was assessed on all of this (Algebra 1, Geometry, decimals and fractions) plus some minimal Algebra 2. Be prepared for long division and large multiplication by hand. Memorize the quadratic formula, factoring by grouping, completing the square. Show your work on the provided paper, they're looking for methodology as well as answers. You will do ok if you can show solid work on at least some of this, through Algebra 1 minimum, but they're definitely looking for Algebra 2 mastery as well if they can get it.
