If you want to practice for an AR go to: www.bookadventure.com/, you can register to take tests on a computer and earn prizes. Please check to see if the book is also on AR. NOTE : THIS WILL NOT SUBSTITUTE FOR AN AR TEST, THIS IS ONLY FOR PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, note this disclaimer from the actual web site of book adventure:
Please Note: "As of March 31, 2006, Book Adventure’s Quiz-o-Matic will require a quiz score of 90% or better for children in grades 3-8 to earn points and for the quiz to be recorded. (Children in grades K-2 will require a quiz score of 80% or better.) These changes are being implemented to reflect the National Institute for Literacy’s instructional comprehension standards. Moving forward on Book Adventure, a child must choose the correct answer for 90% of the questions contained in a single quiz. If the child scores 90% or higher, the quiz is recorded on the child's progress report and the child earns points toward our prize library. If a child scores less than 90%, the quiz is not counted and they have an opportunity to retake the quiz once more. (Again, a passing score for quizzes with a reading level 0-2 is 80%)." http://www.bookadventure.com/more/PointChanges.asp
