Here's another resource. And, this one.

As a former test prep teacher, I can offer these tips... Just remember: Use the process of elimination to increase your chances of selecting the correct answer. Skip the more difficult questions, but come back and answer them at the end - don't leave any answers blank. You don't lose points for wrong answers, so statistically, you're better off choosing the same letter every time than randomly selecting a letter.
Thanks for the links. I may have checked them out about a month ago, I will check them out to make sure I didn't miss something.

Also thanks for the pointer on choosing the same letter every time - I had heard that before, but from someone who lends no validity to anything whatsoever -
I do believe you, though!!!
I have a book and will study. It is just time that I seem to be lacking!!

(I did the GRE, and all I remember was that my scores were better than my PhD-in-physics-and-such-a-glowing-genius ex's scores. That was sweeeeeeet!)

Yeah, I ASSUME that would pass, as it does mean that I surpassed the score required to get in (I think) -

I just really like a solid answer - none of this "it depends on how everyone else scores" business! What do you do with that?? Hope that on the day that I test, all of the scores of the rest of the people whom my score will compare against will be complete idiots??

I just need a number to beat that is a solid number, not a guesstamate.

Can you tell that I tend to be a little type A???
