BCPS Spring 2021

So its weird as it has the Charge for the specialty exam, certification retake fee, recertification fee, and annual maintenance fee. I wonder what this is. Why would you need some of this on here. Like the initial exam price? Anyone know?
Ya I hope it means I passed, but you'd think a reimbursement form wouldn't have filled out every section. As I haven't taken it a 2nd time. I don't know. This is the kinda stuff I was saying that needs more communication/explanation.Hopefully means you passed and is an invoice to get reimbursement if you are in that army program 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I have that button as well, and get the same PDF generated with a $2050 Fee, but also agree that it probably shouldn't have all those rows if it was personalizedWait, so is new armyignitED tab not universal to everyone?
Does anybody NOT have that button? (This one below with the arrow)

So it looks like that link to a PDF might be designed for Military and Veterans to earn reimbursement according to this webpage:
Maybe the invoice generates something more specific after their updates...

I guess the only way to know if its a differentiator is if someone in our thread happens to not have the button in their "Portal Home" page within My BPS?So everyone gets it? Or is it a sign you passed?
I'm guessing everyone has it though...
I had the same problem. Just clear your browsing history and it should workStill not able to log in... :'(

It worked. Thanks. Yup I have that button too.I had the same problem. Just clear your browsing history and it should work
If the people on this thread put as much effort into studying as harrassing BPS for the scores to post, they would all score a 800. Jeeze guys, just chill and let BPS do their thing. I mean we all hate it when RNs call us and harrass us and here we are doing the same thing.

So we have 1 person who doesn't have it. So does that mean he passed and the rest of us didn't lol.negative
I have it. I edited my original answer. It doesn't mean anything btw.So we have 1 person who doesn't have it. So does that mean he passed and the rest of us didn't lol.
How was it? I'm sitting for that in the Fall. Just took the BCIDP. Very random off the wall questions.I’m waiting for BCCP

Well having taken both the BCIDP was WAY HARDER than the BCPS. BCIDP > BCCCP > BCPS in terms of difficulty.nope. I took the BCIDP for the first time. Skipped the BCPS

The login part of the BPS website is now down for me. It was never down for me yesterday. I tried Chrome and Firefox.

Waiting on the BCIDP.
Technically we only have to wait ~16 more days to wait until 60 days have passed since the exam window closure on 6/1. I'm rationalizing with myself that I've waited this long and what's another 2+weeks? It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't 😛

The waiting is getting exhausting. If I need to retake, it's going to take me a bit to mentally prepare for studying/exam prep again.Waiting on the BCIDP.

Waiting on BCOPIs everyone waiting for BCPS? I am waiting on BCACP.

Well, the login is working again for me and I still show as 'Eligible'. 
Maybe I should just give up checking.

Nah, man nothing could have prepared you for a lot of the questions on the BCIDP and I mean a alot. Also there is a difference from a RN calling and harrassing us. This is an electronic exam.. The Naplex and MPJE dont take this long, and they are weighted too.If the people on this thread put as much effort into studying as harrassing BPS for the scores to post, they would all score a 800.

Certainly the grading of the test can't take this long-- do you think it's the curving of the test that takes awhile?Nah, man nothing could have prepared you for a lot of the questions on the BCIDP and I mean a alot.

How badly do you need to curve a test so that people pass/fail. Unless like someone said above they curve the test so only around 60ish percent pass. That might take extra time.Certainly the grading of the test can't take this long-- do you think it's the curving of the test that takes awhile?

I agree....well, like a previous post said, we have made it this far. Just have to be patient. It's a bit frustrating (especially when the login pages keeps going down) but we can't really do anything but accept the "60 day" fate.It’s concerning that we don’t even have an exam release schedule at this point. Typically, at this point after exam window closure, we would at least know when results for each speciality are being released.

I just want an anticipated date so I can stop compulsively checking here and BPS LOL. I got myself into the habit of checking this week because I truly thought we would get the results some time around now. So let's just agree the results will be posted on August 1 (a Sunday, whatever) and check back then 😒Waiting on the BCIDP.

Eh I will probably keep checking religiously just incase I have to sign up again. Giving me more time to study.I just want an anticipated date so I can stop compulsively checking here and BPS LOL.

Came across this thread with some insights:

BPS Exam Results Release Date History Thread
I see many posts over the years and in various threads asking when the Board of Pharmacy Specialties releases their exam results. I thought I would make this as more of a "master thread" to help prevent people from having to call BPS to ask, and as a place for general discussion about test...
I was being sarcastic about the studying part. You are 100% correct in regards to the BCIDP exam. But I respectfully disagree with you in regards to the BPS scoring issue. BPS has always been honest. They literally say that exam scores will take 60 days. They aren't being jerks. Now I agree it shouldn't take this long, but they advertise this fact up front so why is everybody giving them a hard time with calling, FB messaging, etc? It is a waste of everyone's time and makes our profession look like impatient children. If they advertised reporting scores at 30 days and they failed to do that, then of course we should call them and inquire. The fact is we have no reason to expect scores now regardless of history. Look, I'd love to know my score just like everyone else, but we are on day 44 right now so they are in the window. Calling them isn't going to change anything. It is what it is.Nah, man nothing could have prepared you for a lot of the questions on the BCIDP and I mean a alot. Also there is a difference from a RN calling and harrassing us. This is an electronic exam.. The Naplex and MPJE dont take this long, and they are weighted too.
Not offensive,, just not impactful. When did they say this? You probably got some bad intel from one of their "lackeys. "Didn’t know asking BPS a simple question was so offensive… FYI they are the ones said early to mid July. 🤷🏻♂️
LOL, they slipped up for sure. If it aint on the BPS website I never believe anything. Oh well.... As of right now, looks like next week will be the earliest. This is the third exam I've taken (BCPS, BCCCP, BCIDP) and they typically post a release schedule on Wed/Thurs if I remember correctly and they haven't even done that yet.Not to me, they posted it on their FB in response to someone’s comment.

I am beginning to accept the fact that it is going to probably take close to the full 60 days. 😢
I just really really hope I pass and don't have to take it again.

Not that I've ever seen. The release process usually starts on a Thursday. So you get scores released Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday depending on which exam you took. BCIDP was lumped in with BCCCP to my recollection and that happened on a Friday. BCPS is always last (Monday/Tuesday).Do they release scores over the weekend?

I called today, and was told 60 days at absolute latest, which would theoretically be 7/30; possibly earlier, but no assurances... ICUPharm probably on the money, and we might hear something next Wed-Friday ish
