In my opinion, NABP should eliminate Toefl iBT, but if they are not ready to do that, than atleast they should relax the score requirement- especially speaking. Also to get particular score in all four sections is not easy. Before iBT and at the time of CBT + TSE - they didn't require particular score in grammar, in reading, in essay or in listening section. So why now?? If they consider TSE 50 score equivalent to iBT 26 then, why the requirements for other sections? This is the only case with pharmacists. Even physiotherapists don't require particular score in each section except speaking. I suffered recently from this trauma. In my third attempt I scored 27 in speaking. Total score 103. Reading 29, listening 25 and writing 22. No change in writing in rescoring too. In my first attempt I scored 27 in writing...now how someone's writing can degrade so fast? I think we should also present this view too in NABP meeting.
