There's a category of question on my (BCP) Board Certified Psychometrist practice tests that I'm consistently missing and I can't figure out what I'm misunderstanding.
The questions are about bcp 157. Here's the type of question that trips me up: they give me a scenario and ask what the right action is, and I usually narrow it down to 2 answers — then pick the wrong one.
I think my issue is I'm applying the general rule but not accounting for the exception. Can anyone point me to a good explanation of when the standard rule doesn't apply for bcp 157?
I've looked at "bcp prayer book" study materials but they explain the concept at the surface level. I need the deeper "why" behind it.
Any specific resources, videos, or even just a plain English explanation would be genuinely helpful. Exam is in 2 weeks.
The honest answer is: it depends a lot on your background.
If you're already working in this field, the BCP exam is testing knowledge you probably use daily. The "bcp prayer book" sections will feel familiar.
If you're coming in from outside, give yourself an extra 2 weeks and really focus on the practical application questions.
The practice tests here are worth doing repeatedly — I did the same test bank multiple times and found new questions I'd missed each time.
