How much does it cost to take the test?Well the good news is I got my results very quickly, Took the exam mid-november, and got them today, so less than 4 full months- I really wasnt expecting them until may/juneish. Bad news is I only scored a 67 66 on the essay, and 70 on the tasting. Needless to say I was very disappointed. and I had walked away from the exam thinking in my head that I had an upper 70-lower 80 peformance. (ironically one of the comments in the feedback was that I give things in ranges, but to be more specific- ha!) I have to say, the comments in the feedback are outstanding, and they really let you know what you missed. They are also very encouraging and say for the most part I nailed the question, HOWEVER- this is what I skipped. So the small little details are of huge importance. Because I already have the experience points to be a certified level, now I am 3 points away, I will definitely be doing a re-take, and I am trying for later this year, (exam in NYC) We have discussed the preparation for the exam in the past, and lots of great points were made- I cannot emphasize enough how important the exam layout prep is just as important as the knowledge you convey. Study the layout and master that.

$50 the first time around, then if you want to retake, it is an additional $35. You can take just one portion on the retake- essay or evaluation- or both. If I do the retake soon, I will take both parts. Now knowing the layout, and having the ability to read the graders comments, I will be able to structure comments and knowledge catered to what scores well. It would make sense to improve both areas. I just loathe the 2.5-3 hour drive to NYC.How much does it cost to take the test?

No there is a homebrew club in Deerfield that has 2 master judges, they are founding members of the BJCP. I found out they were proctoring the exam, so I took it there. The hardest part is there are only so many per year, and it is difficult to find anything close, this one was a blessing they were doing it.Did you have to drive to NYC the first time around as well?
