There is no magic "PASS YOUR POLYGRAPH PILL"!  The polygraph when used as a "lie detector" is only accurate 50% of the time.  

There are millions of people who have been falsely branded as liars, simply because they had a nervous reaction when they answered a question.  They have had their lives ruined because they believed the lie that the polygraph was reliable and accurate as a "lie detector", and that the polygrapher was an honorable professional who would treat them fairly.  They found out the hard way that the polygrapher was just an interrogator - that the polygraph was just a prop he used to frighten and intimidate them.  And worse yet, that the polygrapher could accuse them of lying without any evidence to prove that accusation and they could not challenge or appeal his decision!  That's not fair, it is not the way things should be done in this country, but that's the way it is!  And your only protection is education - so get educated or get screwed, it's your choice!

Polygraphers want to keep you ignorant about their scam because they know that if you are educated, you will be able to protect yourself and at least mitigate the risk of failing a polygraph "test" - and they won't be able to convince you that your test "indicated deception" because you will know better!  So even if you have been told not to prepare for the test, you still owe it to yourself to at least find out how the test works and what questions will be asked.  Remember, just telling the truth DOES NOT WORK and, if the examiner has a subjective belief that you're not telling the truth, you could "fail" regardless of what the charts look like!  Your best option is to refuse the polygraph.  But since you are required to take this "test", it is important to take every precaution and learn how to produce a "truthful" polygraph chart.  That way you will know that you did everything you could to prove your truthfulness.
