Home pregnancy tests can detect the presence of a pregnancy hormone (called human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG) in a sample of urine. High levels of hCG are produced during pregnancy. The home tests produce similar results to the pregnancy tests done on urine in most health professionals' offices if they are used exactly as instructed. You go to the store and buy a Home pregnancy test, bring it home, remove the cap and pee on the stick, depending on which you buy, you wait several minutes (3-5) and again depending on the type, if it turns blue(which means it detected hCG) you are pregnant. If not than your not. Depending on how far along you are it is possible in early pregnancy to get a false negative. You should either repeat test in one week to be sure, or go see your doctor. Hope this helps.

A home pregnancy test can be purchased at your local pharmacy (Wal-Mart, CVS, Wal-Greens, etc).
Instructions come with the test to explain how they work.
All you do is remove the cap and hold the absorbent end in your urine stream for a few seconds ( you can also pee in a cup and dip the stick in it) and then lay it flat on a counter (you can replace the cap if you wish). Wait 5 minutes and check. Some tests have will show 2 parallel lines if pregnant, others will show a plus (+) sign if pregnant.
Good luck!

A home pregnancy test is a test that you take at home...
Whatever kind of test you buy, just following the instructions. All that's required is your urine.

You can find them at any drug store. They are a plastic stick and you either hold it in your urine stream while going to the restroom, or dip it in urine you collect in a cup. The test will have more detailed instructions - what it does is measure the level of HCG (the main hormone in pregnancy) and tell you if you have any of this hormone in your system, giving you either a positive or negative result.

It is a stick you pee on and it tells you if you are pregnant or not. You need the test kit, which you purchase at a pharmacy for around $10.00. It comes with instructions for taking the test. It isn't difficult and you won't be graded.

How old are you? have you seen what a test looks like? go to the store and read the box. If you actually need one because you think you are pregnant than you need to tell your parents so they can help you.

you get the test from a pharmacy and read the instructions - all you need is cash to buy it and pee to take it.
reading your previous questions I would advise you to go and see a doctor though

Go to your local drug store or pharmacy and ask at the counter. They can explain everything to you, or just go see your doctor.
