Q. I know nothing about personal finance. My parents never taught me and I need a complete introuduction to budgeting, saving, and investing. Step by step guidande kind of stuff. Does any have advice?
A. Good for you for asking this question!
I am going to suggest you start with just one book (and an alternate). Buy (or borrow from the library) The Wall Street Journal Guide to Understanding Personal Finance (4th edition). This is about the best book of its type that I have found.
As an alternate, consider Personal Finance for Dummies (4th ed). While I dislike the "Dummies" name, their books are usually pretty good, and not for Dummies at all.
Personally, I don't think Suzie Orman is all that great.

How should I prepare for FBLA personal finance?
Q. I have to compete for the Pennsylvania FBLA conference in Personal Finance in two weeks. If anyone took this test in the past couple of years, I would be greatly obliged.
A. The questions will be based on currently used textbooks in your subject category. As the librarian at your school if they have textbooks that might be used at other schools.
Most of the subject matter should be similar to what you are using presently. You might try your local college bookstore and find some quick guides for basic Finance, which will help you study.
