I passed the CSP ! Thank you all for the help - I'm recommending Bowen EHS to others who are ready for the ASP and/or CSP!

Thank you Bowen and thank you Patrick! Every time I saw a question about something you specifically went over, I heard your voice say you have to know this for the exam.

Good morning, just wanted to let you know that I did pass the CHMM exam! Thank you! Your prep course definitely was able to help prepare me for success.

I passed the ASP! Wow, I feel so relieved. After so much hard work when you see the Passed word on the slip, the joy is indescribable.
Thanks Bowen . Practice quizzes helped a lot. There were 200 questions and 300 minutes of allotted time. I thought it was 175 questions!

I passed the ASP on my first try!!! The exam was extremely difficult despite completing the online review course, HOURS of independent studying and countless practice quizzes/tests. Much heavier on Environmental and Hazardous Materials than I expected. Be sure to know Electricity concepts and calculations inside and out. Lots of questions needed unit conversions. All in all very hard, but I made it!!!

Passed the ASP today! Thanks Patrick and Bowen! I felt confident going into the exam but once it started it was a different story. I was assuming I wasn’t doing good at all, a bunch of 50/50 answers and trying to pick the best answer. Not as much math as I prepared for. Thanks again and good luck to the rest! CSP up next!

Thankfully, I was able to have success on my first go-a-round with the ASP. I would like to thank the Bowen team and my peers on this platform for helping me get to this point. In regards to the test: It was not "hard" but not quite what I expected. Some tips and observations: 1. There was no "Formula Sheet"; if a formula was needed, it was provided in the question; 2. Questions were mostly conceptual and best practice-based; 3. Most all of the questions you can create a 50/50 chance for yourself; 4. Although Bowen is the best possible resource, employ others. Many of the same questions presented themselves as I got past the 10th practice exam; 5. Take your time, use your common sense, and trust your training and experience. Best of luck to everyone!

I took ASP-CSP course from Bowen in Spring 2016. Waited too long to take the course so did another vendor crash course in person 1 week before ASP exam. Passed on the first try. Was given the recommendation to schedule & sit for CSP exam soon after passing ASP so registered for exam 3 weeks after ASP. Studied Brauer book and did Bowen prep questions and practice quizzes. Passed on the first try for CSP9. Very helpful for CSP. I really like the way Bowen has set up the practice questions, weekly emails for questions, and the practice quizzes. Just wanted to share and say thanks!!

I took the CIH exam today and got that green checkmark! Thank you, Russ, for once again playing such a key role in my success! Thanks to you I've passed the ASP, CSP, and CIH all on the first pass. As others have done, I'll leave a few things for those who will be taking the exam soon...I spent about 4 months studying ~2 hours/day. I took the Bowen CIH mini (50 question) exam about 20 times during my 4 months and averaged low 80s. I took dozens of the 5-question exams in chem/basic science and radiation (my weak points). In retrospect, I wish I hadn't spent so much time studying the really difficult math problems since I found that the actual exam math problems were fairly straight-forward. I found the William Burgess book "Recognition of Health Hazards in Industry" to be extremely helpful. I didn't bother with the nitty-gritty within the book and only took out those golden nuggets that highlighted important information for the hygienist and seemed like good exam questions. I accompanied this book by watching YouTube videos on various processes like electroplating, iron and steel production, semiconductor production, degreasing, etc. I also used Quizlet CIH Tox cards that others have made. Good luck everyone! You can do this!

I took my ASP exam for the first time and passed. No doubt I would not have passed without the Bowen ASP Review Class! Unfortunately... Fortunately, I had a family emergency and had to postpone my original test date. However, with the extra time, I watched/listened to all of the lectures again, and I think it was very helpful. I studied the Brauer book a little, and used both the Bowen study question app and Pocket Prep on my iPhone. Keep in mind, you're not going to ace this test. If you run across a few questions you weren't prepared for, don't worry. You have to get 107 correct out of 175 to pass. You can miss over 60 questions and still pass. I know we all want to score as high as possible, but the attitude of allowing yourself to miss up to 60 questions can help control anxiety. So there is my strategy and a little advice to calm nerves, for what it's worth. Good luck to all!!
