Test Tomorrow...... During a Law Enforcement Poly..Is the question,"have you ever used illegal drugs"? a control question?  I was going to admit to small use in College...do I need to pucker doing that?

No, that question is a rather obvious relevant question, not a  probable-lie "control" question.

It appears to me that you are still having difficulty distinguishing between relevant and "control" questions. That being the case, you might be better off not augmenting your reactions to any questions, but instead simply focusing on the behavioral countermeasures provided in Chapter 4 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector.

If you do decide to augment reactions to any questions, make sure you are absolutely certain they are in fact "control" questions, because mistakenly augmenting a reaction to a relevant question increases the liklihood that you will fail.
