Did you look at the sample questions? Familiarity with email, a first-grade proficiency with a smart phone and the ability to use a web browser ought to be more than enough. I read the results as indicating that most Americans don't have those skills.

EDIT: if kb is to be believed, perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe the real test is different from the samples (though -- what's the point?).
