new dsst substance abuse
#10
I sat this exam last month and scored 378 so don't fret, I studied for over a month. To study for this test one needs more of a pharmaceutical reference guide on drugs at least that was my take away.

I used IC which laid a great foundation, but the actual test requires that you know the classes of drugs, the types of drugs, what is in some of the known over the counter drugs etc. If I were to do this test again, allow lots of time to study everything on the fact sheet and IC, retain and understand drugs from a pharmaceutical perspective is what is required for this test.

You really have to know what is in drugs and what the classes of drugs are. I found this new version of the test extremely challenging to guess on and pass due to having so many choices and sometimes they all seem correct.

From what I have read, the old version was much more common sense, but the new is much more pharmacetical. I asked my advisor for feedback on this test at Excelsior and she said, you must be to retain all the drugs and classes of drugs in order to pass. She also advised the new heres to your health exam is much more challenging than in the past as well.
