Has anyone started studying? if so what material are you using?
Just took BCPS exam for the third time yesterday. first time scored 474, second time 484....only 16 points away! crossing fingers that I passed
I thought that was going to happen for Fall 2020Is it true that as of Spring 2020 the regulatory accounts for a lesser portion of the exam? I definitely remember reading that somewhere but now I cannot find that in writing. Taking it in 3 weeks and I've been studying stats and clinical and just starting regulatory now..
I am preparing for it as well. How are you studying and which materials are you using?Yes I am
How are you studying for the stats? Are you using the ACCP materials only?Is it true that as of Spring 2020 the regulatory accounts for a lesser portion of the exam? I definitely remember reading that somewhere but now I cannot find that in writing. Taking it in 3 weeks and I've been studying stats and clinical and just starting regulatory now..

Hi. Please let us know in this forum how the spring exam went for you and its content. I will be taking the BCPS in Fall 2020.Is it true that as of Spring 2020 the regulatory accounts for a lesser portion of the exam? I definitely remember reading that somewhere but now I cannot find that in writing. Taking it in 3 weeks and I've been studying stats and clinical and just starting regulatory now..
Hey. I am taking it in the fall....it would be really helpful if you could tell us about the overall content of the exam....Thanks in advanceJust took the BCPS exam today and that was rough! I hope everyone does well on their exam. Stay safe!
Yah the spring BCACP was no easier.... anxiety...It sucks that we have to wait till Sept to find out the results...I'm literally going to forget everything I learned if I need to retake it.
Did you have to guess a lot ?
I AM PREAPRING FOR BCPS THIS FALL... HERE MY EMAIL [email protected]anyone preparing for the BCACP Fall 2020?
HERE! IM TAKING BCPS THIS FALL 2020. YOU CAN REACH ME AT [email protected]any study group for the fall 2020?
AreI work as a low level inpatient pharmacist, I studied what I could with Dr. Busti (High Yield Med Reviews). that review was wy too hard for me last year but I still scored 450/500 just off the content I understood from his lectures. The exam is pretty basic. Take a good course and learn as much as you can. I am going through Dr. Busti review again and plan to be able to get all biostat/ onc/HIV questions, the rest are pretty simple disease state questions, that require little thought.
you retaking the exam in the fall?did you use the quiz bank? Did you find the questions to be similar or helpful?
I dunno it’s hard to tell. I don’t wanna get my hopes up lol. You will never feel good after these examsHow did you feel about this past exam that you just took compared to the previous 2 ?
Get Eric Christiansen’s Regulatory study guide...only $30.00. Gives an excellent summary on the regulatory stuff like leapfrog, just culture, meaningful use, all the Acts (ie durham-Humphrey act), all the committees like DEA,FDA,CDER,CBER, very informative to give you a layout to use to study, but definitely not to be used as a sole source of studying for regulatory. just do those accp questions at the end of the chapter for the sections not covered in his guide, ie Communication strategies, Literature evaluation . Use Quizlet like it’s your best friend for this too . Hope this helpsHey any tips on what to study in the practices and process of care chapter?! It is soo overwhelming!!
Is it similar from exam to exam? I have to take the recert for the second time.Just took BCPS exam for the third time yesterday. first time scored 474, second time 484....only 16 points away! crossing fingers that I passed

Any idea when the results will be out?You’ll pass this time! You have been working hard and haven’t given up. I just took the exam and it’s not a good feeling after, knowing you have to wait months to get the results back! Like how am I supposed to wake up and not think about this everyday? LOL! also it’s a weird spot between needing to know if u should keep studying in the event that you don’t pass or just waiting it out and hoping for the best
Any idea when the results will be out?

Is there a curve for this exam?To those wondering when scores will post/how they post, since this is my 3rd time taking the BCPS i thought i'd shed some light. Last year, if you look up BCPS 2019 spring on student doctor, BCIDP was first to post on June 26, 2019, followed by BCPS on June 27, 2019. The website will go down and that's how you know they are posting. Some people say you can go to their BCPS license verification they have and the results are up on their before up on the results website! If it still says "Eligible," this means results have NOT been posted yet. it will say PASSED or FAILED i believe, and tell you how you did in the three sections, "Under average, average, or above average." A score of 500 or greater is needed to pass. Just my opinion, but my scores were like the last to post the last two times i took bcps, and it seemed to be the same for numerous others, so maybe they post the failed ones towards the end . Anyways, I hope this helps i wish everyone the very best. 3 more days hopefully...
When was the last test date this year compared to last year? That will be a good way to find out when scores will post this year, as scores last year started coming out June 26thFrom experience and what I've seen in the past, on average I've heard it takes about 6 weeks after the last exam date....so I'm going to hope they post it in Aug!

Just came out of the exam on Monday and I think I definitely failed. Not a lot of HIV and ONC questions which I really focused on. There wasn’t a lot of biostats either. My exam had a lot of regulatory/policy/misc questions.
the pro metric receipt says 60 days but does it really take that long? I am afraid that we would find out after the Fall testing window would close.
Also, any idea where we would find out the results?
What’s the best resource to prepare for the regulatory part? Thanks in advance.That’s great that there is a study group going for BCPS.. is anyone taking the BCACP this Spring?
Thank you for doing that and sharing. I was going to reach out to them myself because I was wondering the same thing. I took it last Monday and do not feel good about it and want to know if I should start studying for the fall starting now lol. There were more hepatitis and case based questions where you had to interpret labs than I expected. There really weren’t as many critical care questions than I thought there would be. I studied pretty hard for the biostats portion and still don’t feel confident that I got those questions correct. As for the regulatory questions, I’m glad they are easing up on those in the fall because some of those were ridiculous.I emailed BPS about the possibility of extending the fall registration since the results will probably be released after. A representative got back to me telling me a registration window will be available for those who failed the exam in the spring. The representative also stated that BPS will work to see if scores can be provided ahead of schedule so that individual may have the opportunity to sign up for the Fall 2020 exam during the Fall 2020 registration window.
Has anyone heard any updates on when scores will be released?
One of my friends got the board certified sterile compounding test results back! Anyone else hear anything?!
Not yet! When did you he/she received the results ?
