Exam Graders NEEDED!

January 10, 2024

Getting started with the Online Training Program

https://training.bjcp.org/

For sometime, there has been a persistent problem plaguing the BJCP – exam turnaround. To be completely candid, it is taking way too long to get exams graded and get the scores out to our examinees. A big part of that is that we don’t have enough graders to handle the number of exams that we have.

So, we are reaching out to National and higher judges to step up and consider becoming an exam grader!

Grading exams uses a rubric to help you score, and if you haven’t graded before, you’ll be paired with a lead grader who has considerable experience. You will have at least four weeks to grade a set, which on average takes about 8 hours.

You will receive non-judging experience points and Grand Master service credits for your work. Plus you will earn the undying gratitude of the BJCP!

If you are interested, please check out the training portal. https://training.bjcp.org/

And if you have any questions, please reach out.

Cheers!
