Addictions Counselor Exam – Review Practice Questions

June 16, 2014 2:45 pm

Hello everyone!

I want to share with you a site that offers practice questions, quizzes, and flashcards to prepare for the certification exam for substance abuse counselors, and the best of all is that you can use this site for free!! I checked it out myself and many of those questions are very similar to the ones on the actual test.

I highly recommend this site, Quizlet.com, and when you type “csac” (Certified Substance Abuse Counselor) in the search box, it will give several options to choose from. I personally like this one CSAC Practice Quiz and you can change the format in which you want to study: Flash cards, Test, Scatter, Learn (terms definitions), etc…Check it out!
