B.C.M.A. Study material advice

[treeclimbersam]

Good evening fellow arborists. I have been in the tree industry for over 20 years. I have owned and operated my own successful tree business for 8 + years now. I have had my arborist certification for over 4 years and passed traq last year. But, I recently put my application in for bcma and was approved. I want to get this certification under my belt as a personal goal and to continue my education. I was hoping to get some good advice for books and study material to get ready for this test. I saw the list that isa has , but I want some recommendations from people that have studied for it and passed themselves. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I saw that list too...and came to the conclusion that I realistically wasn't going to read it all so I decided I was either going to pass it or I wasn't based I what I've learned through my career. I did pass it. But I didn't "study" for it.

I ended up reading some books, listening to some podcast and watching you tube videos. Passed it!
