Get familiar with these juicy tidbits, since they'll net you plenty of points on both your studies and the real exam!

* Taking the English or Multiple Subjects test? Then you need to know all about Gwendolyn Brooks, a female African-American poet. Her poems are famous for capturing the feel of jazz and rhythm and blues, which was an emerging musical movement during her time. "We Real Cool", her most famous poem, will undoubtedly show up in your studies. Read it and learn it!

* Students often confuse prose with poetry - and when you're looking at your test preparation, the test makers want to make sure that you're not confusing this term as well! California practice tests highlight the importance of knowing popular terms like prose (unmetered, unrhymed language; can be fiction or nonfiction), roman (European term for novel, derived from the term "romance) and Freytag's Pyramid (the stages of fiction, i.e. introduction, exposition, etc).

* If you're taking the Mathematics or Multiple Subjects test, you'll need to know your fair share of mathematical formulas. Here are the most popular formulas that will appear: area and surface formulas (test makers love quizzing future teachers on formulas for rectangles and pyramids), the quadratic formula and other geometric formulas. Get plenty of know-how by becoming familiar with these popular formulas.

* Want more information on popular works of literature that will show up on your exam? Be prepared to see Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal and Gulliver's Travels, Oscar Wilde's The Importance Of Being Ernest and the majority of Charles Dickens and Mark Twain's work. Be sure to take a practice test before taking the real exam to get familiar with these key concepts and figures. You'll be so confident walking into that test room that you'll practically feel your sky-high score!
