I just have to say, I am a huge proponent of using a tool provided by the creator of the exam. I have said on tons of posts, "take the ECE practice test..." "take the Collegeboard practice test..." "take the DSST practice test..."
Well, I'm trying to take the DSST practice test for Drug/Alcohol and it is totally hosed. I can get exactly two questions to come up, then it errors out - over and over and over. I'm spening way more time, logging off, closing the session, reopening it and logging back in than I could possibly dream of spending on actual questions. I'm on #8 and it's taken me a half hour (less the 5 minutes to fire off an email to their tech support).
This is sooooooo incredibly frustrating, it is too much to ask for it to work?
You know, we are all pretty tech savvy to be getting our degree in this fashion, so the tools to support this endeavor should work. Jeez!
So, from here on out, DSST gets no more free marketing from me.

Just wondering, because I get those types of errors on some websites that don't support my browser (Firefox) very well. Just a thought

Anar, thanks for the feedback. I'm using IE, passed their tech check, the whole bit. It seems to be working today. It was just so screwy last night.
Who knows with the Internet, so many variables - could have been their server, some router in between them and me, my network (aghast!)... never know. But thankfully it's working now.
...maybe they will continue to get some free marketing from me after all!

It was probably a test to see if you would resort to taking Drugs and Alcohol to fix the problem..
