Passed mine. I took it almost a week ago. Thought I failed tbh but they were probably just trying to see if Id admit something illegal or disqualifying

.... why cant i just go in there and tell the truth??
That's an excellent question. It stands to reason that a person wishing to pass a supposedly scientifically valid test that detects deception need simply tell the truth. So why isn't answering all questions honestly sufficient to pass a polygraph?

so you are telling me that i have to alter my system to pass?? Thats insane... i dont get it.... why cant i just go in there and tell the truth??
Because unfortunately, opposed to what Sancho and the Poly industry wants you to believe. Telling the truth is NO guarantee of passing a polygraph. There are MANY of us that can attest to that.

Pharmacological countermeasures and cognitive dissociation are of uncertain efficacy against a "control question test" (CQT) polygraph. The key to passing is to show stronger reactions to the "control" questions than to the relevant questions. The best strategy for accomplishing this result is to covertly augment reactions to the "control" questions.
Those facing polygraph examinations should avoid un-prescribed prescription medications or self-concocted over-the-counter drug cocktails, which may have adverse side-effects, and instead educate themselves about polygraph procedure and countermeasures. Documentation is available in AntiPolygraph.org's free book, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (1 mb PDF):
Also, a combination of robitussin, and tylenol will aslo do the trick. This was verified by by two other individual(s) who did not have access to Xanax and Tramadol, they both passed.
Just remember to "RE-FORMAT" the question in your head, to an answer that suits you. Have you stolen anything over 200 dollars? ask yourself (Have I stolen a car today), the reading will come back truthful.

I took two 2mg Xanax, a few tramadols and took the polygraph. When I was asked a question like (have you ever used drugs), I asked myself the question over again, and formatted like this in my head (Have I used cocaine today), then I answered, I passed. The answer is Xanax, and a muscle relaxer. Weather you have sold drugs as a kid, or used steroids, or stolen recently or what have you, this is how you pass. Anyone can do it. If I can, then you can.
