BJCP Tasting Exam Prep - Section 2 Lesson 4 - Double Checking x 2

You’ve worked hard to complete your score sheet. Don’t let small, preventable mistakes cost you points. In this final lesson of Section 2, we focus on two simple but critical habits that can protect your completeness score on exam day: Checking your math Using the scoring guide as a reality check First, we address the obvious—but commonly overlooked—step of verifying that your aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall scores actually add up correctly. A simple math error can turn an otherwise strong score sheet into an incomplete one. Then, we examine the often-ignored scoring guide box in the lower corner of the sheet. This tool allows you to quickly confirm that: Your numerical score aligns with your written description A “Very Good” score matches “minor flaws” A “Good” score reflects noticeable style issues An “Excellent” score truly reads like one Used correctly, the scoring guide is a quick diagnostic tool—not something to overthink or obsess over. It’s there to catch glaring inconsistencies and help you stay aligned. This lesson reinforces the theme of Section 2: completeness is controllable. Before moving on to deeper preparation strategies, we lock in the habits that prevent easy point losses. With Section 2 complete, we shift from “complete every score sheet” to the next mantra: practice, practice, practice. Up next: preparing your knowledge, refining your evaluations, and building exam-ready skills.
