I am taking the test next Thursday. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi
I just took this test and did not feel I did so good. Really pay attention to the InstaCert descriptions, expecially on the catagories, like what is a narcotic, opiate, barbituate. Know what BAC is (on the test they did not use blood alcohol content , they used blood alcohol level). I do however believe that IC gave you enough info I just didn't pay attention enough to the desciptions at the bottom.
ALso know about the catogorizing of drugs from 1-5. Again just really know what drugs fit into narcotics, barbituates, opiates, and so on and know what the difference is, like which ones are downers and which ones can give you certain side effects.
If you know that you should for sure pass.

Good Luck

Use the 'search' function at the top. There has been a lot of discussion on this test, including some great feedback from other members.

I used Wikipedia to study further into the major drug categories (narcotics, depressants, etc) and I was suprised to find that quite a few questions asked on the test were right from Wikipedia and not on IC, so I would recommend using that website as a resource.

Also, don't stress out too much about the signs/symptomes of drug abuse, there are a few questions on the test about it, but they are relatively easy, so don't go trying to memorize which ones go to which drug. I stressed out about it, and believe me, it was for nothing.

For the most part, IC is great, but it wouldn't hut to supplement your studies with another source. Best of luck!
