I also used a Rodman study guide, but I found that more annoying then useful. The Handbook may be available at your local library.
I would say at least half the test was on grammer, What word better completes this sentence, that type of thing. Also putting a paragraph in order by rearanging the sentences for a better flow. Finding and picking the correct sentence when it may only be 1 uncapitalized word or 1 slightly misspelled word. Pay attention to the little details.
The rest of the test was questions on proposals and reports, in which section is the executive summary, where are resumes that sort of thing. A couple of questions about proofreaders marks. It has been a long time since I took it that is all I can remember.
