I recently watched on television the Scripps National Spelling Bee, for students up to and including 8th grade. The spellers are able to ask questions of the word pronouncer, and the one question that seems to be of most help is "What is the language of origin?" That is, the champion spellers make an educated guess on hard words they have not even heard before based on their knowledge of the spelling rules for not only English, but Latin, Greek, German, Italian, Spanish, etc.
For your basic school spelling bee, though, below is a list I found that you could have someone quiz you on. And if you don't have time to learn dozens of languages' spelling rules, just make sure you review those rules for English! Good luck!

Pick words out of the dictionary and learn them completely I MEAN completely... origin and definition...
Ignore everyone, close your eyes and take your time
PS. Oldest trick in the book...
Imagine everyone in their under wear, especially.... o well nevermind
