How long did it take you to study for BCPS? How did you approach it? Any advice?
Thanks!
Thanks!
if you miss the BCPS cutoff, you don't keep your BCPS in 7 years ?It's a dual threshold test. If you fail the BCPS cut-off but obtain > 50%, you'll be awarded standard CE credit you can use for state license renewal. If you score < 50%, you get nothing.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. Results were released 11/17 last year and 11/22 in 2013. We can hope! This wait is driving me insane. It would definitely make an awesome early Christmas gift (if I pass).
I'll be attending Midyear as a residency preceptor (the last time I went I was a student) so finding out sooner rather than later (business cards, posters, etc.) would be great!
Congratulations!I didn't get an email yet but I logged on MyBPS and my score report was there for BCCCP...I passed!!
Congrats!!! What a relief!!I just checked no email, I passed too!!! BCCCP!!!
Thanks!Congratulations!
I passed BCCCP too! Did same thing...no email...just happened to be checking the mybps site. Did a lot better than i thought. Would have been happy with 501! I wonder how many took vs passed BCCCP this yr....Thanks!
Theres also many offerings from ASHP now...and you can do the PSAP from ACCP...but they also allow you (i think twice during the 7 yr recertification cycle) to do the pharmacotherapy prep course for BCPS recert credit (the one that ppl use to study for the exam). So there are a lot more choices than just PSAP now.So i have to buy these. and take the test and answer them. and Do i turn in the answers to BCPS ?? and what if i don't pass the test at the end ? Can i just take them again ? and re-send in the answers ?
Congrats!!! What a relief!!
Same here! The last few hours seem like a blur. Now I can stop obsessively refreshing the BPS pages That was the longest 51 days of my life!!It is! I am so excited, I can barely concentrate at work!
I did better than I thought too! I wonder if we'll have to wait until they release one of the bulletins regarding stats for how many took vs. how many passed?I passed BCCCP too!

Yes...likely..i think those usually come out at the beginning of the year....so more waiting....easier this time though!I did better than I thought too! I wonder if we'll have to wait until they release one of the bulletins regarding stats for how many took vs. how many passed?

Yes, before the score report was available it said upcoming exams and listed the CC exam and had "view instructions" to the right of that. Once the results were available it is still under recent/upcoming exams but it lists where you took the exam and has a link to the score report. One thing I failed to notice initially was that directly to the left of the score report link it said "passed".Again, just to confirm, you found the results under "The Recent Or Upcoming Exams" section. Currently, my Exam ID, Exam Type, Purpose, Location, Status, and Action sections are listed. I currently have a "View Instructions" link available (so obviously nothing yet).

Awesome- thanks. I'm just glad we will know early- big relief. Hope I passed this thing! I basically camped out at Starbucks for a few months. The staff there is even asking if I passed this thing!
Anyone hear about anyone getting results on the PEDS exam too?Haha you know its serious when the staff want to know if you passed! Good luck to everyone waiting on BCPS tomorrow. I am sure you all passed
My BCPS results are posted on mybps (passed!)
So did you study alot for the exam ?? How many weeks did you study ? and did you only study from Prep materials ? and i am thinking they passed more people this time since this is 1st time exam. and these certification doesn't mean that much, not as much as you think it does.I passed BCCCP too! Did same thing...no email...just happened to be checking the mybps site. Did a lot better than i thought. Would have been happy with 501! I wonder how many took vs passed BCCCP this yr....
I did the same thing at a local coffee house and they were very supportive. Now I can finally tell them that taking up one of their spots paid off My husband is teasing me saying I can stop obtaining letters to go after my name...he thinks PharmD, BCPS and BCCCP is enough.Awesome- thanks.

I plan on it for now. I've put the time into the PSAPs and I'm only about 30 hours away from the 120 hours to recertify.Will anyone keep BCPS now that we have BCCCP?

Haha. After seeing them (nearly every night for a month and some change) you get to know the employees pretty well. I saw them more than I saw my wife!
Tell your husband you are better because of it! Lol. I think obtaining new certifications and education (for the right reasons) helps in this competitive job market/opens doors. I took a few months off from working on my MBA (I finish in April) to tackle this exam. If you know where you're going, the training and education behind the letters help!
Of course, they would... BCPS is 100 time better and useful than useless BCCCPWill anyone keep BCPS now that we have BCCCP?
Blah just called BPS ... they're releasing results in alphabetical order -.- ... so I still have a ways to wait.

I am screwed tomorrow waiting for my BCACP results. My last name is Yoho....
Oh, I know! My husband was so happy that I could finally put the notecards and notes down after sitting for the exam. He asked if he could burn them (he was joking) and I told him not before I found out my results. He is just teasing about "all of the letters" and he is extremely proud of me. I think achieving and maintaining the certifications makes you a much better clinician as well as helping in the job market.
So, did you get your results yet??
its 10.15pm EST, still no email yet, and no update about the BCPS result. For those who have seen theirs, you are all so lucky...still waiting and refreshing my page..cant rest until i know..lol
