BPS Exam Results Release Date History Thread

[RxEvileye]

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 timing and getting results rather than exam prep.

As an FYI, in recent years when you go to the BPS website very close to around the time they release results, a popup comes up with the anticipated dates. You later get an email when the scores are released and are able to view them in your MyBPS account.

Searching "BPS examination score report schedule" with the relevant year/season in Google brought me to archived pages of previous result dates for at least a couple years. I am posting links here and pasting when the results were released in recent prior years in case the links get taken down:

Thanks for sharing! This is helpful to know that the results will be released on a rolling basis. However, I would love to know processing times because from review of other forums (time between last testing date and release of exam dates) our is late. I was trying my best to be patient but now as we reach the middle of July, I am getting so anxious to get these results and move on.

Thanks for sharing. Since it's on a rolling basis, does anyone know if this is done by exam dates or by last name? I am wondering because if I took my exam early in the cycle, would I be in the first rolling cycle?

It’s by exam
