As it states in this article:

http://www.ucop.edu/healthaffairs/re...20PHARMACY.pdf

Please read page 4, last paragraph. It says that foreign pharmacy graduates face additional barriers to achieving U.S. licensure. They have language difficulties, knowledge of specific U.S. pharmacopeias, limit transfer of education credits, and other obstacles decrease opportunities for foreign graduates to enter the workforce. Really?

Do you admit that you have language difficulties? Do you concede that ETS is the only organization to tell everyone that you cannot communicate? I will let you decide.

What are you going to do? Will you let others inform that foreign graduates cannot enter the workforce because they cannot use English in communication? The problem are the TOEFL format and score language requirements set by NABP.

I will repeat again. You must inform your state boards.
