Shawn and OWLers, I'm not quite sure what the ORELA test is but it sounds like a state or national test that you are being required to take. I would recommend looking on Studyblue.com and searching for the ORELA test. Basically, Studyblue.com is a website with publicly shared study flash cards. I would bet someone has already put together some flashcards for this test and you could find some help studying there. I used this website when I was studying for my state praxis exams for my teaching license. People had already made the flashcards. It was very helpful. Good luck.
