DSST - Bought the book as a self study book in preparation for DSST test SO495. I read through the book once and went back over a couple sections that I didn't understand well on the first read through. Max 10% of the book read twice. Then I went back through the summaries and typed them out while saying them to myself at the same time (memory aid). Read through the combined summaries a few times and I took the test. I managed to pass with 10-15% above the minimum score.
That being said, there was a lot on the test that I am pretty sure was not in the book. Probably at least about 10 - 15% of the entire test. When confronted with those questions I had the very distinct feeling that I had never seen the information before. I mostly just guessed on those.
If you learn quickly and you are good at recalling facts, you can get by with this as your sole study material. If not, I suggest getting another book as well. I got Drugs & Society (Purchased on 12/04/2009)
by Weldon L. Witters for that purpose, but didn't have the time to read it so I skipped it. I don't know if it will cover the answers not in the rated book, but it is worth a shot.
