I failed the spring 2019...got a 474/500. Any tips or resources would be great...retaking in the fall. My accp books were from 2016 so I had to order the new 2019 books that just got released in May 2019.

[DrNEB]

might be too early still. i think it was slow starting at 8am PST. good luck everyone 🙂

Oh I thought they were eastern time zone

 

[basketballgirl]

Oh I thought they were eastern time zone

I thought so too. Their office is in DC no?

 

[DrNEB]

Yes it’s in DC I just looked it up! Yes good luck everyone! hopefully we don’t have to wait till tomorrow

 

[mangopulp]

So it still shows 'eligible'...do they show a score or will it show pass/fail?? The wait is killing me!

 

[pharmerbeansss]

Oh I thought they were eastern time zone

oh i just meant for me (PST) it started slowing down then, so maybe that's the time of day they start posting 😛

Bccp results being loaded now. You can see the totals at the top of the column change as the results are loaded

BPS

Under Recent or Upcoming events, it will say Pass instead of eligible.

 

[Tafeelyanoss]

I heard critical care is posted as well

 

[Watsor06]

I heard critical care is posted as well

Nothing yet for me. Hopefully soon

 

[oapharmD]

If anyone hears about bcps please let us know!

 

[AmyK624]

Anyone know when BCGP will load?

 

[hopeful1994]

Website seems to be slow/down right now... hopefully that means they're uploading...

 

[Watsor06]

I don’t know folks maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll upload more than one exam today. Don’t want them to work too hard 😉

 

[Heartslob]

Bcccp uploading now

 

[Watsor06]

Passed !!!!!

 

[DrNEB]

Passed !!!!!

Yay congrats!!!

 

[hopeful1994]

BCPS still has not been uploaded yet =///

 

[Watsor06]

Good luck to everyone !!!!!!! I will remain checking here to wish everyone luck and congrats ! Thank you everyone for the support this forum provided. Without you guys this wait would have been unbearable

 

[RedROSE]

Passed !!!!!

Congrats!!!

 

[oapharmD]

BCPS still has not been uploaded yet =///

I know its driving me crazy, anyone know if bcps was uploaded on the same day as other specialties last year?

 

[PharmBambi]

Why does BCPS have to be last?? I have gone into A-fib waiting on these results.

 

[Chardog83]

So just to recap, only Critical Care and Ambulatory Care have been posted/are being posted...still waiting on BCPS

 

[TranslationalRPh]

Why does BCPS have to be last?? I have gone into A-fib waiting on these results.

Assumed it was because it's the test that most applicants take and thereby the most voluminous to upload.

 

[Watsor06]

I took critical care and still no results yet. Does the status change? Currently mine says eligible.

Yes the top “ awaiting exam” will disappear and pass will appear where eligible was. Eventually ( within minutes) your cred number and your ce tracker will appear there in its place

 

[Chardog83]

and from my experience from last year, don’t be discouraged if you didn’t pass (like me)...keep in mind that most people on this forum will post that they passed, and hardly anyone posts that they failed. Keep in mind the BCPS has only a 65% pass rate average over past years

Will it keep 'eligible ' if someone didn't pass?

 

[AmyK624]

Will it keep 'eligible ' if someone didn't pass?

That’s a good question!

 

[ChickNNuggit]

That’s a good question!

If you don’t achieve a passing score, the status will change to reading “Failed”.

 

[BKpharm]

Will it keep 'eligible ' if someone didn't pass?

Yes i agree. Many people behind the screens trying to discourage people... i know its upsetting if you dont pass but two things to keep in mind 1- passing this test doesnt equate to you being art 2- you can always take it again and now you learned from your experience... many people here wrote i studied for 1 hour and passed and later when i looked in their history, they took it before and didnt pass.. lol so dont be discouraged..

It quoted the wrong message.. but to answer your question, no it will change to pass or fail

Good luck! Hopefully it will be in your favor this time!

 

[DrXenha]

Super delay in response, but found out I passed (crit care)! Congratulations to everyone and good luck to those awaiting scores!!

 

[DrNEB]

Good luck to those who are finding out their score today! And us BCPS people just one more day of waiting

 

[Litha]

This wait is literally killing me. I can’t believe they couldn’t update this last Wednesday or Friday, it’s a little ridiculous. 😵

 

[DrNEB]

I know! Is this the first year they stretch posting the scores over a week? Usually they post them over 2 days

 

[TranslationalRPh]

More programs this year. Also, last year, scores were posted between 11/20-11/24.

 

[Fullmoon1411]

Good luck everyone. I have been waiting the results with you since last week. They make it more difficult this time. Hopefully, everyone waiting here pass.

 

[Chardog83]

Good luck everyone ! And thanks for everyone that has posted in my thread, it really helps to hear positive encouragement. Really hoping I won’t have to take this a 3rd time, but even if I do have to, it doesn’t make me less of a pharmacist , and in the end no one is gonna ask you how many times it took you to pass the bcps, they will just ask if you are bcps certified or not. That is the mindset I hope everyone here has

 

[oapharmD]

I hope today is the day for BCPS for most of us, really dreading waiting another 24 hours !

 

[DrNEB]

I love how you think about it! Best of luck to you today!

 

[DrNEB]

Are they really going to wait till 4 pm to post it?
