One of these things is not like the other

I have a new entry for the homophone portion of my Semi-Annual Grammar and Spelling Rant!

Throws /= Throes

throws = the physical act of throwing something.

throes = 1) A severe pang or spasm of pain, as in childbirth; or 2) A condition of agonizing struggle or trouble: a country in the throes of economic collapse.

You cannot be in the throws of passion. (Okay, unless you and your partner are into recreational nude karate or something), you are in the throes of passion.

Search parameter help?

Kidnunit is going to take the State of Colorado employment test, and I want to find something similar online for use as a 'practice' test but my google-fu has failed me. I can't find anything. Can any of you suggest some search parameters that might help? All I get are links to information about the exam, not what sorts of things are likely to be on it. I imagine a lot of states have similar tests, and the US Government has one (I know, I've taken it!) so I figured there msut be places out there that are like GRE or LSAT 'help' sites only for employment exams, but I just can't turn up anything.
