The new online exam is going well. Over 100 people have taken the online course so far, with a passing rate in the 70-75% range, which is comparable to the legacy exam. Reminder to all examinees—this is a difficult exam, be sure you have studied well before attempting it.
There will be future announcements about BJCP activities at the Seattle NHC this year. The BJCP Judge Reception will be Wednesday, June 20, from 2-5pm (same schedule as last year). Signup for pre-conference activities is open, so many have asked about our intentions. We realize there will be multiple events going on, but that’s the nature of the conference in general.
A new Spanish translation of the BJCP style guidelines has been posted. We are also looking at translating the new online exam into Spanish and Portuguese. We hope to have these finished before the planned South American exams this year.
