Just as a heads up, my wife took the dantes substance abuse today and only scored 363. I don't know if it was just bad luck but she said the questions were nothing like the study guide from petersons or the fact sheet. She studied for 3 weeks and had the flashcards down cold and was scoring 60-70 on the peterson's practice tests. She even checked out the book listed on the fact sheet and read most of it. She said the questions were mostly on facts about specific government acts and statistics that have changed since even the text book she read was printed. Lot's of questions about psychiatric meds which she really didn't study because the fact sheet says the test is about drugs of abuse and scheduled meds. Very few questions on street drugs or even alcohol, mostly facts on statistics that no one would remember even if they just took the course. Basically, she feels that she was blindsided and the dantes fact sheet is not really factual. Sorry for the rant, had to vent. :mad:
