I was looking for the following exams and it doesn't appear they have practice exams:
Fundamentals of Counseling
Substance Abuse
Org. Behavior
I figured I would check with you guys though to make sure. I was hoping to take the practice ones to see which if any of the above I could just take as I am running a bit low on time. I did the 10 sample questions on Counseling and got 9 out of 10 right. I was hoping to run through the tests, deterine the one I am passing the easiest and take it :-( doesn't look like that's a possiblity though.

As far as I know there is no Dsst official or Peterson practice test for Fundamentals Counseling . I used this
this website which bricabrac shared in a post. It has great summaries and quizzes for Fund Counseling. There are free Peterson practice tests for Substance Abuse and Org Behav at
this website. At the top click on practice dsst tests and it will show you where to get them free. Hope this helps!

Thank you it does help! I won't keep wasting time looking for official exam practices as it doesn't look like they exist for these exams :-)

Hi!
According to a list I put together a few months ago:
http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...#post53500
Prometric has an official practice for Substance Abuse for $5 and there are Peterson's practice tests.
Peterson's ebook has practice tests for Organizational Behavior.

Please let me know, if these are no longer available.

NAP, according to this link on the official site they do not currently offer a Substance Abuse one:
DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com
The only Social Science listed was Criminal Justice.

Thanks for that link!
I just signed-in to the official practice test site at Prometric to check on this. They appear to still be offering everything on the list I posted (including Substance Abuse), plus Business Ethics and Society has been added.
I'm not sure why the 2 lists are different. It would be worth trying to get the Substance Abuse practice test from Prometric. (Let me know if it works.) I really like to have as many practice tests as possible.

There are a few more practice questions for some of the subjects in these DSST quizzes:

I agree with NAP completely! Try to get as many practice tests as possible. I think they really do help!

Thank you, I agree. I'm probably over cautious if anything. Plus, I only like to study for one at a time. That's why I was hoping I could quickly figure out which one I was better at and start there. But, it doesn't seem like a quick way to do that.
I worked my way through the textbook link that was provided in this thread earlier today plus started on another textbook link from the free clep prep site.

I just found out in another thread that a new Peterson's ebook has been published:
http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...#post87981
It does have Substance Abuse but not Organizational Behavior.
I wish I had saved a copy of the old version that I could share with you.
