hi erin,

i'm writting to you just because i don't know from where to begin or actually how should i begin.


i'm pharmacist graduated from middle east and came here to USA 6 months ago. i'm thinking these days to do my equivilance exam of pharmacy so i mailed the NABP asking them for their help but they just sent me the application form with no any additional advising, so i do have now the application but don't know what to do with it.


And they also told me that i should go through TOEFL and TSE. so i mailed the ETS web site asking for their help but yet have no reply from them. so i'm asking u to advice me what to do. i don't what to do or with which exam to start. and what the book i should have for all these exams. i'm not ready yet for any exam coz i didn't study for any for sure yet..


so i just wana to tell me what to do or where to begin from , should i take the toefl exam first then the FPGEE. i'll be thankfull alot if u just tell me what to do.



thx

Hi Dina,
U got the brochure with the application form for FPGEE right? Now u have to collect the documents like transcript, degree certificate, syllabus etc from ur college in sealed letters, as mentioned in the brochure, also complete the application form properly and get it notarized according to the brochure, send all these documents with fees to NABP, they will let u know when u get the approval. In the meantime u can take the TOEFL and TSE exams. NABP specifies in the application brochure that we have to take TOEFL and TSE within 2 years of FPGEE exam. For FPGEE, u can study by ursleves with books mentioned in this website , also there are many prep materials availavle, even classes with Morris Cody...whichever u prefer. The blueprint(syllabus) for FPGEE is also given by NABP, or can be downloaded from NABP website on the FPGEE page.
For TOEFL and TSE info, u can refer the corresponding sites in this forum.
Actually, since it may take some time to get the approval from NABP for FPGEE, in the meantime u can take the TOEFL and TSE, and then later u can request ETS to send ur score to NABP. After u get the required score for FPGEE, TOEFL and TSE, ...NABP will send u the FPGEE cert.
