Joanne,
I tried the online DSST Practice test for Environmental Science, and my reaction was about the same as yours - what a waste!! I expected to use the results to help me determine what I needed to study more, but the score report wasn't very helpful. It listed my incorrect response and gave a rationale of 'By definition', but it did not include the correct reponse.
I took the actual test earlier this week. I'd say that approximately 40% of the practice questions were related to the material on the actual test. But the real test seemed easier than the practice exam. I passed with a 66. The practice tests can't hurt, but I doubt I'll use them again.
