Okay so I need to share this because I wish someone had told me earlier. I failed the BCG certification exam in October and again in January, both times scoring around 68% when you need 75% to pass. I was devastated after the second attempt because I'd put in probably 40+ hours of studying using random YouTube videos and a textbook from 2019.
What changed everything for me was actually finding a decent BCG practice test that simulated the real exam format. The question style on the actual test is very specific — they love scenario-based questions about blending and color correction, and my old materials barely covered those. I also finally broke down and got a structured study guide instead of cobbling together notes from five different sources.
Passed last month with an 81%. My timeline was six weeks, about 1-2 hours per night. Has anyone else struggled with the color theory section specifically? That was my biggest weak spot even on the third try.
