8th grade students are 13-14. Students generally start in Kindergarten at 5; Americans don't enjoy 0-indecies, but Kindergarten is Grade 0. You can extrapolate from there for the other years.

I don't teach in VA, but according to the implementer's guide[1], it's un-timed. From my experience, I'd say probably 2 or 3 hours for the 50 math questions, depending on the student's skill.

I haven't worked enough (at all) in adult ed to comment in depth on these, but they look like they'd cover a lot of the important stuff for a basic job and your general day-to-day numeracy and literacy.
