Hi, Just a reminder of the exam this weekend. The exam is at 3101 39th St. S. Suite E.
starting at 9:30 am on Sunday. Please arrive about 15 min early to fill out your
paperwork.
There is still room for a few more examinees if anyone decides they would like a retake.
Cheers,
Susan

Susan,
Sign me up to proctor.
Everyone else - please provide some guidelines for your availability (days of week and
times typically open). I have a couple small ones and a wife that is grinding through law
school, so late evenings are best for me but I can be somewhat flexible.
I have not taken the online exam and cannot offer a lot of guidance there, but I would
take it early. I want to make sure everyone has done it before class starts so we can skip
over the procedural part and go right to evaluation / score sheets / etc.
Cheers,
Dave

Dave – sorry, a bit late – hopefully you are still planning on running a short class. Here
are all those who signed up. I leave it in your capable hands now. Hopefully since you
will be tasting beers with these examinees you will be available to help proctor the exam
on April 26th.
Hi Everyone, Here is the info on the BJCP exam coming up on April 26th – Sunday morning
9:30 am. Exam is 1.5 hours so will be out of there by 11. Come about 20 min early to fill
out paperwork. Address: 3101 39th St. S. Suite E.
http://www.bjcp.org/examcenter.php - this is the BJCP Exam web page – lots of info there.
Some of the highlights are below but you should spend some time on this page.
Exam Study Guide: This is your bible. http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Study_Guide.pdf
Exam program description: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/BJCP_Exam_Program.pdf
Judge procedures manual; http://www.bjcp.org/judgeprocman.php
http://www.bjcp.org/docs/OffFlavorFlash.pdf - Off flavors flashcards – quite helpful
Style guidelines in almost any format you prefer: http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php
BJCP Beer Studies – Beer Appreciation and Exam Preparation,
http://www.bjcp.org/course - this is new since I took the exam – it looks great.
The online exam costs $10 – I believe there is a discount if you feel you will need to
take it more than once – you can sign up for 3 takes – can’t remember the cost.
The tasting exam is $40.00 the first time and $15.00 for retakes.
For new people taking the exam – keep in mind that altho there is a lot of material – it
takes years to really learn all of this – to become a recognized judge you only need 60%
on the exam – so study to learn all of it and you should get the 60%.
Do not leave the online exam till the last minute. You can retake the exam once every 24
hours – take it once early to get a feel for it – if you pass – great – if not you can see
where you are at – study some more and retake. You have to have the online exam taken
before you take the tasting exam. No exceptions are made.
Have fun with this studying – you are studying beer – always when reviewing the style
guidelines – have a beer you have purchased from that category and taste it, think about
it and enjoy it while reviewing the guidelines. In what other class are you told to drink
beer while studying.
Cheers,
Susan
