Took Substance Abuse Dantes Exam 9-6-12 scored 460, used Instant Cert flash cards, found it helpful to have them on my iphone so I could study every chance I got.
Very hard test, know the flash cards inside and out then take Peterson Practice Tests when you think you are ready to identify weak areas.
