an IQ test isn't there to determiner what you know its to see how intelligent ones mind is i would say try to learn how to open your mind to things that you cant understand and threw that you will become knowledgeable which will lead to wisdom which from what i get out of your question is what you are asking and trust me your only 14 your mind will grow with age as well, put forth your knowledge with todays society and way of life you will go far. hope that helps you out jay..

Every person is born with an inherent IQ that means that if your IQ is in the 120 range at 14 it probably won't raise much farther than it is now. You can raise it several point but probably not more than about 5 to 7 points. The best way to do that would be to read and to try and experience new things. I'm talking about things that will force you to use your mind. They have done studies that have shown that people who do puzzles and word puzzles and who read things that they aren't used to are less likely to develop Alzheimer's. That applies to people who wish to broaden their store of knowledge and possibly their IQ. I love to read and write, If I was trying to do what you want I would read more non fiction and I would try new crafts. I would volunteer some place that I won't normally think of working to broaden my experiences.

You really cant raise your IQ because it does not actually measure intelligence. More accurately, it measures your ability to learn which is something you are born with

Maybe reading random facts -.-. Looking up stuff might help =), the more you read the more you learn.
