Please use this thread to share your Oct 01, 2009 FPGEE exam experience.

I gave exam today and found it bit difficult. I am hoping that I would be able to just make it...score in range of 75-85.

I studied using the CPR, and Manan Shroff Theory, Calculation, Management and 1000 Questions. I was bit disappointed that there were not many questions from Manan Shroff 1000 questions. Also, very few calculation questions.

It was really difficult......specially the second part that contained lot of new subjects and strange questions I never heared about them before!does any1 agreee?

I wonder whether all of us get the same questions?
I found the first part a bit difficult as 60% of the questions are guesses. There are quite a lot of biomedical science questions.
The second part was more relaxed and its more of answering with concept for management part. Lots of clinical questions, you really need to know the common side effects for drugs. One more thing, biostats questions! There are many!
I hope I can pass.

With all honesty and humility the exam is really difficult, I agree with vvfong that the first part is much difficult than the 2nd part. Though I am still hoping to pass it, Good Luck to all of us...

Hello Everybody,

Yes, I have given the test today and believe me the second part I found HORRIBLE.. Well, I have read whole manan shroff management book, 1000 questions answers and Lippincott's illustrated reviews for Pharmacology ... I think the first part was not that much complicated. It was all about basic but the second part 75% questions were from US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM....

There were hardly 2-3 questions from manan shroff's management book.

Seriously, no Idea how much I will get...

Hi everybody!!!!

I also think that it wasn't easy, especially the second part. I think I guessed maybe 80 % or more(( Even if the questions were looking kind of familiar, they were formulated in a complicated manner, so you get confused about the right answer.
A lot of statistics, formulas and drugs!!!! I have no clue what I did there.
I think I was half asleep.
My exam has started at 7:00 , so I was there about 6:20, and even the building was closed)) What surprised me more is that there were only 6 people that came for the test. This is for Las Vegas. What about other test centers???

By the way the staff was great, very kind people!!! And there were no
on-screen calculators.


Good luck to all!!!!

Hi everyone,

I have a very same feeling from today's exam - it was not easy and some questions seemed to particular to me... I did not take the preFPGEE or previous FPGEEs, so I wonder if this was "a standard difficulty" - can anybody compare it?
(Vvfong, I believe we all had the same test - at least I had the same one as my friend who took it too)

Good luck everyone!

I also write the exam today and i dont know where the majority of the questions came from. i studied my books very well and i just dont really know why it seems i didnt studied with the most part of the part 1. the second part is quite manageable with questions on ethics and us healthcare. i got quite some calculations and no calculator was provided.

i gave alot of effort and time in my review so i just pray that i will pass.
