DSST Substance Abuse FAQs

  • The DSST Substance Abuse exam measures your knowledge of substance abuse and dependence, classification of drugs, other drugs of abuse, and more. This is one of 38 different U.S. Department of Defense exams. DSST exams are intended to provide a non-traditional pathway to college credit by awarding credit for prior learning in a specific subject area.
  • By taking the DSST Substance Abuse, you can apply prior or current knowledge to get a head start on your higher education pathway, enhance your degree, and save time and money on courses. Students can take various exams on entry-level collegiate topics to bypass these courses in college or university. Does this sound familiar? That may be because many students take DSST tests with CLEP tests. While both offer college credit, CLEP tests offer testing in mainstream subjects, while DSST test subjects are more specialized and can be used for lower- and upper-level credits.
  • The DSST Substance Abuse test assesses a test taker’s ability to understand over-the-counter medications, dependency and addiction, screening, diagnosis, substance abuse, neurological factors, and more. The pass rate of the DSST Fundamentals of Cybersecurity exam is 72 percent.
  • The DSST Substance Abuse exam is based on a scaled score, calculated from multiple choice questions and essay scores. Scores range from 200 to 500. A score of 400 is considered a passing score, with 434 considered a B-equivalent. As individual institutions may require specific scores to award credit, checking with your college or university about their policy is always advisable.
  • DSST exams test you on the equivalent of an entire college semester’s curriculum in approximately 2 hours. Peterson’s DSST Substance Abuse prep prepares you for the questions you can expect on the exam with three online practice tests, video lessons that break down exam content, and flashcards to test your knowledge of key terms. While the idea is to test you on material with which you have prior learning, reviewing the content and test format is in order as a satisfactory score earns you the college credit you’re after. While everyone is different, Peterson’s recommends at least 6 weeks of DSST Substance Abuse prep for test day.
  • Peterson’s offers three full-length DSST Substance Abuse practice tests for subscribers. You can also access our DSST Substance Abuse Study Guide, which provides a review of concepts presented on the exam and tips for preparing for it.
  • Students can only register and pay for the DSST Substance Abuse exam at an authorized DSST testing center. The GetCollegeCredit website is a great resource to find information on locating testing centers and institutions that award credit for the DSST.
