They won't test you for gear, unless your on probation for that specificly, but that doesn't mean they can't test you if your PO wanted to be a hard ass.
The best piece of advice I can give you is if you are going to drink..have a few beers at home, but I wouldnt' drink 48-72 hrs before your test, and don't go out to the bars where there will be temptations to get you into more trouble. Don't get on your PO's bad side, cuz they can be real cock suckers.
Goodluck,
