get to reading....go get on your bed, pick up the book, turn off the cell phone and read....how hard can that be? I am the mother of an 8th grader, and I tell her the same thing

I completely remember A.R.! Man that was long long ago (I'm 23 now). Um, um, I think Goosebumps and Fear Street used to be on there. Run to the library! Run! Most literary classics really aught to be on there, you probably can't go wrong with one everyone has heard of like 1984 or Animal Farm or something. 1 book a month is good, more than 1 every week or two weeks will overload you and you won't get the same impact, I am a firm believer that you should take your time with books.
SHOULD.
That doesn't mean I haven't pulled more than one all-night reading session for school like the rest of us idiots and fell asleep somewhere near the middle/end.
Good luck!

alright first you need to pick a book that would probably be on the test is there a list to choose from? then you need to find as many cliffnotes.com or pinkmonkey.com or sparknotes.com summaries/analyses about the book you choose and read those and have those on hand when you're taking the test. you are likely to get about half of the questions right for sure if you read these summaries. it's a shame you didn't want to read for the assignment i bet it's fun being able to pick the books. anyways i hope it goes well for you! good luck!
p.s. this sounds like a system that lets the teacher just sit back and do nothing...that's kinda weird!
p.p.s. i think you should "read" black like me or number the stars or to kill a mockingbird or some of those kind of classic books that are usually taught around 7th grade...those should have AR tests (whatever those are)

Ask someone you know to give you the key points of a book they've read. Next time, read a book before you take the test!

Alright, first, the moral answer: Start reading, and if you dont finish, fail the test. Serves you right
Next, answer because i did the same thing: You said it was on the computer right (doesnt sound like a good system to me...) but you need to cheat. there are plenty of ways to cheat using computers. Try googling answers while taking hte test, or typing something and making the person next to you read it and answer. Or, take a classic route and skim the book and write important info on your body/clothes/paper and look at it, or just ask the person next to you quietly.

I've gone through the Accelerated Reader program too.
I know this sounds really irresponsible, but you should just ask a friend who's taken a test on a book that you want to read, and have them give you the answers.

Read books such as Captain Underpants ect. Because they are short sweet and simple, yet AR (in my school anywway) read a bunch of them and you will get points.

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
It's a really short and easy book. It's interesting! You could easily read it in one day.
Heartbeat by.... I forgot who it's by.... sorry! It's a book of poems that tells a story. Really easy.
