CSP Quiz Game “Plus”

Official Description  

“CSP Quiz Game Plus is a fun study tool designed to help industrial hygienists prepare for the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) comprehensive exams to become a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) and an Associate Safety Professional(ASP) along the way. Test your knowledge with short quizzes and find out if you have achieved Safety Genius status or if you need to keep studying.

Each quiz contains 10 random questions sourced from the Bowen EHS, Inc. Free Study Question Program. You can easily view correct answers after each question.  Review the entire question set after each quiz. Premium members of the Bowen EHS Member Center can access detailed solutions and explanations.1

 

Thumbs Up

  • cost is free
  • no registration or sign in required
  • well organized – easy and logical to use without any instruction
  • easy to read, nice colors, and we liked their “sound effects” when you get correct & incorrect answers
  • 374 different EHS questions
  • numerous improvements over their original version
  • a similar quiz game (CIH Quiz Game Plus) is available to help those studying for the CIH exam
  • can be used off-line

 

Thumbs Down

  • very brief one or two word answers to the questions in the free app, if you want their more “detailed answers” you will need to upgrade to their premium edition ($99.95 per year)
  • in addition to using this quiz game to study for the rigorous CSP comprehensive examination, we feel CSP candidates should also –
    • join local CSP study groups
    • take college occupational safety and health classes
    • review the official CSP Review and Study Sources 

 

Overall Rating

  • iPad / iPhone – ♥♥
  • Android – ♥♥
