It depends on the state.
Some states give you an intern licence without your FPGEC. They let you do your intern after you send them a copy of your passing score from FPGEE
or a copy of your passing score from the TOEFL. After that, you are allowed to do your 1500 hours intenship and meanwhile to work on your another exam.
At least it's in my state. I got my intern licence and now I have to work on my TOEFL and do my intern.
