I used to get taken out of class, for the purpose of standing and facing the wall outside so I couldnt distract other pupils anymore.

There's some failed logic here--you demonstrated that you don't understand how grading works on these tests. The IQ test you took might not have even been an actual IQ test, do you remember the name of it?
If a retarded person thinks he's the president, is anyone going to correct him?

I take the actual test in May, so I would like to have enough pattern practices, and also do some refresher stuff with math and vocab. Any suggestions?

Some people take these sorts of tests for fun, so I was mainly asking if anyone has tried any that they like.
