      Summary: We find the number of partitions of \(n\) whose BG-rank is \(j\), in terms of \(pp(n)\), the number of pairs of partitions whose total number of cells is \(n\), giving both bijective and generating function proofs. Next we find congruences mod 5 for \(pp(n)\), and then we use these to give a new proof of a refined system of congruences for \(p(n)\) that was found by \textit{A. Berkovich} and \textit{F. G. Garvan} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 358, 703--726 (2006; Zbl 1088.11073)].
