Try this, but remember, teachers are getting smarter about plagerizing...if you copy it word-for-word, expect an F, but if you site the sources, this should help.

I just took one of those a couple of weeks ago.  And to be honest, I wrote it in one hour instead of two and I think I got a hundred percent.\n\nIn this exam there were 5 types of questions.  I will tell you about them and then give a link to a test very similar to the one I wrote.  I suspect that the test you are going to write will be quite similar.\n\nType 1- Word definitions.  They give a word and then 4 choices of that the real definition might be.  Only one is closest.\n\nType 2- Number sequences.  They give a string of numbers and you are supposed to look at them, discern the pattern, and give the next number in logical sequence. \n\nType 3- Math problems.  They give you some conditions and ask you to figure out a problem.  Here is one common type:\nJim has a 100-gallon tank of gas.  He fills 3 identical tanks and has 25 gallons left.  How big were the tanks he filled? [It's not hard!]\n\nType 4- Logical puzzles.  They give you some information, enough to solve the questions if you combine what you know into some logical deductions.\n\nType 5- Spatial reasoning.  They show you a sequence of shapes and you are supposed to pick what the next one would be out of 4 or 5 choices.  Using simple logic and looking for patterns, these are not that hard if you take a few seconds and look at them calmly.\n\nHere is a link to the test and some practice tests.  It is in Canada but I do not think that the rules of logic are very different here.\n\n<http://www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/ppc/assessment_pg2_ka_e.htm>\n\nFinally, you asked what kind of book to buy.  I was only concerned about the logic puzzles so I bought a magazine of them (there are monthly compendiums of them available here, like crosswords or sudoku).  And they were the wrong kind, actually more intricate than I required.  I just loooked on the net for any type of puzzle sites or IQ tests.  Seriously, just do a lot puzzles and whenever possible, read the explanations for why the answer is what it is.\n\nGood luck to you.

1.  Come prepared with pens, white-out, pencils, erasers and a watch.\n2.  Sit up straight and don't sit near people who will distract you.  If you often have questions during the test, sit near the front of the room.\n3.  If you have to read something and answer questions about it, start by reading the questions first.  Then you'll know what to look for when you're doing the reading, and can underline important passages as you read.\n4.  Trust your intuition and keep the first answer you selected.\n5.  Use the information from multiple-choice questions to help you write essay questions.\n6.  If you have to write an essay question, use the words from the question in your introductory sentence.\n7.  If you have a math test, always show your work.\n8.  Give priority to the questions that are worth more points.  Don't waste ten minutes on a question worth one point unless you're finished everything else on the test.\n9.  Before you submit your test to the teacher, go back and make sure you've answered all the questions and didn't miss a page.\n10. If you had to answer multiple-choice questions on a bubble sheet, frequently check to make sure you're filling in the right row.  ALL of your answers will be wrong if you accidentally miss a row or put two answers in one row.\n11.  Plan something fun to do right after the test so that you won't just sit around worrying for the next two hours!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

These sites may help.  They seem to have some practice samples that are free.

Here is one I use with my students.

I do not know of any good stratagies that will allow for you to simply guess the correct answer for multiple choice exams.  How ever since it is multiple choice you are in luck, half the work is already done for you.  With that said let me pass on to you some helpfull advice given to me by my high school math teacher.\n\nDepending on your level of understanding in math you will be able to use this:\n\n1. Almost all multiple choice exams are set up so that if you just look at the problem you should be able to eliminate one answer imediately.  You can look at the values given in the problem or what format you know the solution will be in and eliminate an answer.\n\n2. As you work the problem you will be able to eliminate more answers.  You rarely need to work the problem to completion to find the answer (unless you do not have a firm grasp of the basic concepts).  You will start to notice that some of the answers are not what you expect the problem to resolve out to.\n\n3. There will always be some that you will need to work out depending on your understanding of math.  By using the elimination method you will have more time during the test to devote to those that you are having difficulty.  Try going through the test and answering the easy ones first.  Then make a second pass to work on the difficult problems.\n\n4. Never leave an answer blank!!!  If you do not know then make an educated guess, or at least a guess.  If you are given an equation to evaluate then you should be able to plugin one of the answers and solve the problem backwards.\n\n5. If you find yourself wanting to change an answer, don't.  The only reason to second guess your first instinct is if you know you were absolutly wrong.  Sometimes questons later in the test might help you to work one of the first problems.  So make sure you keep making passes through the test until you end up with all questions answered.\n\nAfter hearing of this method I started to use them.  When I was in High School I only took up to Pre-Cal.  When I went to college I took a Math placement test.  Well, I used this method and ended up placing out of Cal3.  Not the best situation, but they ended up using my placement as Clep credits so I never had to take a Math class while I was at that college.\n\nWhen studying math concentrate on understanding the fundamental concepts and building block functions.  Once you understand that much about math, you will find that you will have an easier time with more advanced classes and new concepts.  Try using any confusing math concept in a real world application (other than something involving 2 trains), and you will find that they will start to make sense.

What, like your question? try giving a few examples...

There is so much you can do with your time at the end of a lesson that would FACILITATE learning, not just consume time.  I honestly can't believe that a teacher would even ask this question.  I would suggest that you have the students work together in groups to produce a game show like Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (using PowerPoint- you can find templates online), with word problems related to the unit you're studying.  Then, you could use those games to review concepts before the test.

Try this link  http://www.internet4classrooms.com/on-line_word.htm You can print them off of the computer and go through them with your students.  \n\nAlso, the help section in the program is a great tool for designing your own lessons and can be printed off and copied.  Again, tests and quizzes you just take those sheets you print off and make up your own.

get a sample test book from your library.  It'll give you a good idea of the format of the questions.  Every state has different requirements so people here can't help you, what applies in their state might not apply to your state.

The teacher is probably expecting you to conduct an experiment and present your findings. To do this, compose a few lists of questions and math problems of equal difficulty (20 questions or so each). One set for each type of music. Have the subjects (your friends, etc.) one at a time answer a set of questions as they listen to different music (rock, rap, classical for example). Chart the scores by musci type. Hope this helps.

Go to a teacher to show you more cases, and try to work harder!

What you need to do is start sampling this particular teacher's questions and use statistical analysis to see if he/she favors any one choice.  There are a number of easy statistical analyses that should work well to see if there is any significant variation -- though of course if you're willing to go to this much work, you're probably better off listening in class.\n\nBy the way DO NOT try this on standardized tests like the SAT.  These tests penalize you for wrong answers to eliminate any benefit gained from random guessing.  That is to say, for any question there are four wrong choices and one right choice.  You get a point for a right answer and lose a quarter point for each wrong answer, so if you guessed at random you'd get four wrong for each right answer, and lose as many points as you gain.\n\nNifty, huh.
