Hi everybody!
Today the results for June 6th Toefl IBT was out. The score were as follows:
R=28
L=25
S=18

(My lowest score so far was 22)
W=25

My speaking part went well. But is there any possibility that they can miss scoring any of the speaking parts, like they gave me limited in task 3 & 4, which i don't think is right. I am planning to give for retotaling but as i need 26 it won't help me. I will give for retotaling and appraise about it to the NABP and KNOK. I think this test is not good. I heard that some of the board of pharmacy do conduct a live counselling, where the pharmacists has to counsel the inspector about the situation that has been presented to the candidate regarding medication, disease mananagement. I think this is better than speaking part of TOEFL IBT. I heard WV BOP do conduct extra practical examination beside NAPLEX and law, known as "Errors and Omissions Examination". This practical examination do have live counselling conducted by inspectors and i heard this session is for 5-10 minutes, where the candidate has to counsel the inspector(acting as a patient) about the drug, drug - drug interaction and drug - disease interaction, if any. Hope Knok you can think something about it.
We all need to stand up united and make our voice heard by the concerned authorities about it.
