Didn't find a thread for Spring 2022 so figured I'd make one.

I took the exam in Fall 2021 but unfortunately failed. Was not too far off though.

In any case, I am retaking it this Spring and hope I pass. Anyone else taking it? What/how are you studying?

I am taking it for the first time in mid May. I am using ACCP. What about you?

I am using the ACCP book + ACCP book for biostats + High Yields question bank + Meded101 exams. Planning on buying the ACCP exams too.

Anyone know how the meded101 exam correlates to the actual exam? I got 120/175 (68.6%) right, so was wondering how that correlates to the real thing.

If anyone is interested, we can form a study group and keep in touch with each other. I am registering for mid-May. I use GroupMe; I can make a group there. PM me your ID if interested.

I honestly didnt dedicate as much time as i should have the first time. Studied maybe 3 weeks on and off. This time, I started in dec (taking it on 4/19/2022). In addition, i purchased the med101 material. Will also be supplementing with the ACCP book as well. Gonna focus more on biostats and reg material. Will also take a few practice exams. Anyone who is interested in sharing resources, let me know.

Mind telling me how you do on the MedEd101 exam when you take it? I took the first one but cant tell what it exactly means since I have nothing to gauge it by

That’s SOOO close!! What do you feel like you could have done differently?
Click to expand...
A few things...
1. I felt like I rushed at the end because I was, quite frankly, tired of taking the dang exam. It's not like I didn't realize how long it would be...but I just was mentally fatigued.
2. I didn't take the whole 30 minute break. I should have. I now realize that was an error. Next time I'll go outside and walk around.
3. Maybe a little fear of the unknown perhaps? Maybe I went in with a losing frame of mind. I've now accepted the fact that the test HAS to be as random as it was....even though I felt like my particular test had a 'theme'..but I've heard others had different 'themes'.
4. The biostats/regulatory were my strongest domains surprisingly enough. I was just 'average' on the meds part. Again, it's so random.

The only reason I'm taking it again this time is because it's 1/2 price. If I fail it again I'll probably never attempt it again

I took it in 2021 and am retaking it too for the exact same reason. Last time around, I only took one practice exam (ACCP) and didn’t do any more test prep questions-I just reviewed the ACCP material. So of course once rbe exam day came, I completely froze. Major mistake for me and I for sure learned my lesson

Hello everyone!

Future BCPS hopeful here that would like to join any study groups available. My email is [email protected]
I am a 2018 grad working in an inpatient hospital setting with some clinical tasks.
A few questions/advice I am looking for:
  1. Is it worth rushing to review and learn all the material before the spring window ends? I was leaning towards taking it in the fall to give myself more time.
  2. If taking it in the fall, if I purchase the 2021 ACCP course package will that suffice for the fall exam or is it worth waiting till May for the new material to come out and waste 2 months of potential study time? Was going to also purchase the MedEd101 regulatory and biostats guides.
Thanks, Pham!!!

Hi Matt,

I think there's no rush. I took BCPS 13 years after graduation 🎓 and well after I stopped practicing in a traditional setting. No problem. Just work.

Personally, I didn't find that the material in the books generally changed too much to justify waiting till May to get the study materials. I think you would do yourself better by just starting studying earlier. It is always possible that it does significantly change. However, BCPS is more likely to test you on established fact than an obscure brand new change. That's what I was told, and it was consistent with my test a few years ago.

How do you purchase the ACCP BCOP mock exam? I only see the ACCP Pharmacotherapy Mock Exam on the website. Thanks!

Also, Domain III (Clinical Trials/Research) doesn't seem to be completely covered by the ASHP/ACCP material (i.e. doesn't discuss IRBs, drug approvals etc) - what materials are you guys using for this?

I just took it yesterday. I thought it was a good mix of really hard questions and some that were ridiculously easy. Overall, lots of super random questions that you probably just have to know from experience but I thought the exam was fair. It’s my second time taking it but this time I honestly feel like I didn’t do better despite studying a lot more. I only used the ACCP materials in case anyone is wondering. What did you think of the test?
