Hang on, let me get my book out and I'll write the title...
"Clarinet Fingerings, A Comprehensive Guide to the Performer and Educator" by Thomas Ridenour
This spiral-bound book has every fingering, all alternates, trill, altissimo, and even the psychotically high ones. In the front you can read about some general tips on tone and fingering choices. If you are at all serious about keeping at the clarinet, buy this book, it cost me $12 I think. I look at it all the time.
Finding the book: hopefully you have a music book store in your city, if they do not have it, they can order it. Otherwise, you can see if your band director can recommend a place to purchase it. Also, every college clarinet professor I have ever met uses this book and most require that their students use it, so, worst case scenario, you can head to a nearby campus and find the book, you do not have to be a college student to buy books from there.
I found a website that I have mixed feeling about, it's kind of weird to look at...
http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/
you have to click on what range you want for each picture, like Chalumeau or Clarion. Also make sure you use the correct fingering system, like Boehm-System Clarinet. I browsed, it seems ok, but I like the book much better.
As far as making all city, first of all, I'm curious what city? Second of all, do not procrastinate. Make sure you have prepared all the music and scales if needed. Ask your band teacher to hear you and give feedback.
This website has some good info too...

this is usually listed on the index of all lesson books. I have one of these charts in almost every single of the books I used when I took lessons!
you need to work on a lot of things for all city... tone, rhythm, articulation, etc.
