Can anybody comment on the best ways to study for these?
For the people who took these tests, how was it?
They both transfer to TESC.

In case you have attempted to use the search function and have not seen many results, the actual name of the DSST exam is Substance Abuse (not Drug & Alcohol Abuse). I believe there was a name change quite a number of years ago.

Thanks. It lists it as Drug/Alcohol Abuse on tesc's website. I hope there isnt an issue with it transferring.

It worked out well for me .Scored a 405. I found when taking the test a lot of questions were not in the study guide.

I used snazzlefrags notes for substance abuse, everything you need is there. Should be in the first page or two of the specific exam feedback.
I believe IC gas flashcards too.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I took Substance Abuse DSST in June and transferred it to TESC, no problems. It transferred as SOS 303. I found it fairly easy. I used the IC flashcards.

I would encourage you to do the search on here and read the comments, as it is a test that a lot of people have taken and given info.
