Why not call your VE and ask what is sent on the test.
Here in San Diego, a pre-test info sheet it available -- see URL:
http://ac6v.com/morseaids.htm#CWPASS

A snip from the San Diego pre-test info sheet
-------------------------------------
"You will want to know in what manner to study, note that in the example,
code characters are sent at 13 wpm, with the spacing adjusted for overall

5
wpm speed - study accordingly is recommended. The VEC's in your particular
area can be found at URL: http://www.arrl.org/arrlvec/veclist.html
You will note that the sample QSO contains all of the alphabet letters,
numbers 1 thru 0, punctuation such as the period, comma, question mark,
slant bar, and the prosigns BT, AR, and SK. All of these are required by

the
FCC to demonstrate your knowledge of the Morse Code."

--------------------------------------------

End Snip

Note callsigns with "de" is in the sample message.

I don't think Q-Signals are sent in the test. At least the sample does not
have any.

It may vary in your area, so call your VEC

Good Luck

From what I remember (and admittedly, it's been awhile), they may include
QTH in the simulated transmission since it is supposed to be representative
of an actual QSO but the question on the written might be phrased "What is
the location?" It's an easy way to include Q. However they will not ask
"What does QTH mean?"
