Anyone else studying for BCC in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my (BCC) Board Certified Chaplain exam in 3 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "BCC" and working on my weak areas — specifically around BCC exam.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
The free bcc spiritual care and counseling helped me understand what the exam actually tests rather than just what the material covers.
Same boat a few months ago. Here's what I'd tell myself:
The BCC exam is more concept-focused than the study guides suggest. They test whether you understand BCC, not just whether you can define it.
My tip: when you see a scenario question, mentally walk through it step by step before looking at the answers. The wrong answers are designed to catch people who jump to conclusions.
Good luck — the fact that you're doing this level of prep means you're going to be fine.
Failed first attempt, came back to this thread. The consensus on bcc practice test being the make-or-break area is right. Focusing almost exclusively on applied questions this time around.
Quick update: just cleared 78% on my most recent BCC practice set using free bcc crisis intervention and end of life care. Sitting for the real thing in 4 weeks. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
The advice about understanding why wrong answers are wrong — not just memorizing right ones — is genuinely the best BCC advice in this thread. Rebuilt my prep around that and it made a real difference.
