You can also buy this small " circuit tester" from home depot for like $10. You plug the tester into the outlet and it lights up to tell you if the box is wired correctly or another light comes on telling you the problem.
That's for checking an outlet, not a switch. I do as much of my own electrical work as I can, but I know when to stop, because it's too risky without the right knowledge set.
