It'd be nice to know before I change my heuristic model to a test model, in the interests of readability.
This page suggests it's a reserved word, but the language there is ambigous.

I created a Rails 3 demo app with scaffolding based on a Test model and all seemed to be working just fine, but as soon as I tried to run an Rspec test, it all fell apart, so the answer is yes, it's a reserved word.

Level by level quiz game:
I would like to have the user progress be saved and return to the appropriate level & step when clicked. Does it make sense to use a state machine as the user advances levels? A multi step form? Just javascript?
I am a bit confused as to whether I should just be digging into the state_machine gem or whether I should pursue a different path. I truly appreciate any help.

I build an app in RoR which is on heroku. And I want to send a fax every time an order is taking place. What will be the best option for me?
Thanks
You could use InterFAX or eFaxCorporate. I don't think any of these APIs come pre-integrated with Heroku though. The use of InterFAX from a Ruby environment is documented on this book.

Is there any technique to prevent spam post before active record saves its record.
I was just thinking of putting before_filter, in which it judges if the registered keyword is included in parameters past,and it forces to redirect.
Is it normal way? or it slows down the system teribbly as the spam keywords get more?
I'd use a service like Akismet through one of these gems:

I was recently given a task to create a blog using Ruby on Rails. So I found a very helpful guide, which was very helpful for the blog. However, there seems to be a short supply of good Ruby-on-Rails guides on creating a wiki that is, up to date, makes sense and accurate.
You can check existing gems for wikis: https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/wiki_apps
There are 3 rails-based wikis.
The most active is https://github.com/alno/irwi.
Other two, https://github.com/queso/signal-wiki and https://github.com/AndyMoreland/kii, was not updated for years, but still you can try to look through sources to get the base idea

I would like to know how to make a simple form that saves the results to a database. Also how to make a spreadsheet from a database? Thanks!
There are a lot of answer to your question. A couple of good places to start for the forms aspect would be the Ruby on Rails Guides and Rails for Zombies.
As for the spreadsheet... well... that is a whole lot more. Once you have gone through the first two resources and done a few practice apps you should check out the Spreadsheet Library at Rubyforge
