Can anyone confirm that the DSST Substance Abuse exam will count as UL credits for a TESC Psychology degree?
I need 3 more UL credits and I feel like this will be easier for me than the Organizational Behavior or Fundamentals of Counseling exams.
Thanks for any input you guys can give!

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

I took all three exams and have to say Fundamentals of Counseling (1) was by far the easiest. Then depending on your background Substance Abuse (3) and Org Behavior (3) were about equal in difficulty to me. I have experience in both business as well as the pain therapeutic area. I used IC flashcards for all 3 exams and didn't have a problem passing.
Level of Difficulty (1-5)

Thanks bricabrac. I think I will go with Fundamentals.
Since I already have this thread started...
Fundamentals of Counseling will be good for UL credit at TESC, correct?

Good choice! Yes, the exam transfers as PSY331 Introduction to Counseling. For reasons unknown TESC will not change the DSST test equivalency chart.
