From my experience with it (I took it about 5 years ago) it is a test that pimarily tests your knowledge of a language. It usually asks you to solve some simple problems and you are graded on correctness and syntax... It is supposed to be the same as taking an intro to programming course at a university, the difference being that many collegs are now using other languages.
