The easy solution to this is have the cfi who signed you off for the checkride give you a BFR endorsement based on the checkride prep. You could also get the examiner to give you a BFR endorsement based on the checkride itself.
Are you sure about that? It's a checkride for a certificate, rating, or operating privilege, so it should count for the BFR under 61.56(d). That's what I've been told through my training and by management at the school I'm working at now.
