    Today

    A CSP question to start the day, how ready you are, and a one-click set aimed at your weakest domains.

    The study plan

    Eight blocks, one a week, grouped by exam weight: Domains 1 and 2 are half the exam, so they get four weeks. Open a session to see the topics, the free official sources to read, the blueprint items it covers and a practice target. Mark it done when you've hit the target.

    What the exam tests

    How the 200 questions are spread across the seven domains of the current CSP11 blueprint. Select a domain to see which blocks cover it. Below, the blueprint checklist shows every item in plain English, the session that teaches it and practice questions on it.

    Domains 1 and 2 are half of the exam between them. Based on the BCSP CSP11 blueprint (version 2024.04.24). Check bcsp.org for any newer version before you apply.

    Formula sheet

    BCSP no longer hands out a formula reference sheet: where a question needs a formula, it is built into the question (BCSP). You still need to know which formula fits and how to rearrange it. These are the ones the CSP11 blueprint leans on, grouped by topic, each with the blueprint items it supports and practice questions on them. US units unless stated.

    Practice bank

    1,000 original practice questions written by The Near Miss Show team, each one explained and cited to a source (OSHA, EPA, NIOSH, FEMA, DOT and consensus standards by title). Every one of the 47 CSP11 blueprint items is covered, and each question is tagged by domain, blueprint item and study block. They are not BCSP exam questions and are not taken from any exam. The mock exams use separate questions.

    Mock exams

    The five timed mocks are in final review and will open here this week. Each will have 200 original questions weighted by the CSP11 blueprint like the real exam, with no question taken from the practice bank.

    How to use it

    You don't need to buy anything. Every block points you to free official sources (OSHA, EPA, NIOSH, FEMA, DOT) by title. Reference books and consensus standards are listed by title only, for those who have them; we never copy them.

    1. Pick your route

      Full plan, fast track or final review. Set your exam date and the countdown starts.

    2. Open a session

      Each one lists its topics, the free sources to read and the blueprint items it covers.

    3. Practice the items

      Drill the session's blueprint items in the practice bank, with the formula sheet open for the calculations. Hit the target, then mark the session done.

    4. Take the mocks

      With a free account: Mock 1 as a checkpoint, then Mocks 2–5. Review every miss.
