Also, when you have a specific question, such as these from the test, go to the Index section of the 2012 ASA Rule Book. You may have to look in as many as 3 or 4 different areas before you find your answer, but you will probably find it. And, that gets you in the book.

Now, after having researched a particular question and being still unsure, come here and create a thread. State the situation, and provide the stance you have come to based on the Rule Book. Then, the rest of the forum can help you out.
Get the Case Book. It will help your understanding. It will clarify what the rule book is trying to say. It comes on a CD and you can get it from the ASA web site.
