The bad news is that you cannot raise your actual IQ because that is a measure of your brain's ability to learn and figure. The good news is that you can raise your score on IQ tests. That is not as silly as it sounds because the IQ tests really only measure your ability at the time of the test. For example, I registered an IQ of 82 while suffering from the flu. The school recognized that as impossible, considering my functioning level. I was retested when well and scored well over 140. The things to do to improve your test score would include:
1. Read a lot. Use a dictionary to look up words that you do not understand.
2. Do crosswords and look up the answers that you do not know.
3. Take practice analogies tests.
4. Take practice math tests
5. Take old IQ tests.
6. Get practice taking multiple choice tests
Get plenty of sleep the night before the test and have a good breakfast.
Stay off of weed or any other illegal goodies. They will only mess you up.

IQ seems to be a very generalized term, Intelligence is not only a number on an IQ test. My brother scored genius and said it was not a good measure of intelligence. If you are intelligent you should not care what the number from a IQ test says.

Take math classes and study books on logic. I'm not sure if it really raises your IQ, but it helps you on IQ tests.

just keep practising with IQ tests. Everyone learns at a different pace so also why not try to learn as MANY things as pssible as that helps your memory and hopefully your IQ to go up.
