To qualify to take the BJCP Written Proficiency Exam, you must have a score of at least 80% on the Tasting exam, and have accumulated at least 10 judging points. **** **** The exam consists of two sections. The first section is 20 T/F questions, where each wrong answer results in a 0.5 point deduction from your overall exam score. The second section consists of five essay questions. Each of these questions is worth 20 points.**** **** As you probably know, the BJCP judge advancement system has changed. Now the tasting portion of your score counts for 50% of your total score, where it used to only count for 30% of your written score. Based on this, with your current best Tasting score, you would need to score of *99* on the Written exam to advance to Master. You need 40 points for Master, half of which must be Judging Points.**** **** You can find the study guide for the new exam at: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Study_Guide.pdf**** **** Some people have found the BJCP Exam for Dummies useful in studying for this test also. The 2010 version is currently published on the BJCP website. This was published prior to the new exam. It can be found at: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Study_Guide.pdf**** **** If you’d like the 2012 version, let me know and I’ll email you a copy.**** **** I only have 5 seats remaining for this exam, so it’s first come, first served. To reserve your seat for the exam, send a non-refundable check for $15 payable to me. I will let you know immediately if you are one of the 5. I will return any checks that come in after that.**** **** Al Boyce, BJCP North Rep**** 3208 Edgewood Ave S**** St.Louis Park, MN 55426**** alboyce(a)comcast.net**** 763-412-6836 (cell)**** **** If you have any questions, let me know!
