It's been a few months since I took the test and I took it right after the College Math CLEP so they're kind of blurred together in my mind, but I seem to remember not very many complicated/multistep problems. I didn't take the REA test so can't speak to how it compared to the actual test.
I used solely InstantCert for practice questions for both College Math and College Algebra, and googled things I didn't know how to do. Did that for about an hour after work five days a week for three weeks then took the College Math and got a 78, then did it for another week and got a 73 on College Algebra. That was after not having taken any math-proper since 8th grade (I took formal logic in lieu of regular math in high school). Moral of the story: it can seem like a scary test but it's not bad at all. Just pile on the practice problems from any source you can.
