Larry, I took the Foundation test last Spring. It is every bit the three individual tests combined with a fairly quick time limit (if I remember it averaged to around 40 seconds per question). As has been mentioned you must pass each section to pass the entire test. To add to that you also must take each section in the order the test specifies. If you aren't very strong in all three areas that can unnerve you if you spent more time in one area than you wanted and aren't sure how well you did.
On the other hand, when I passed it was quite an adrenalin rush. It was one of the harder tests I've taken and it felt good to pass it. Study hard and understand not only the answers but the reasons behind them and you'll do fine.
