gramesh14 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi everyone, I got my Toefl-ibt score today.....i am happy :) at last after taking TSE for 3 times and still could get only 45..............my toefl scores are as follows Reading 25 Listening 26 Speaking 27 Writing 28 I was surprised to see the result, i just took this exam after being frustrated by TSE, as i could not get 50, which has seriously hampered the chances of getting a job. Now atleast i can dream of working in the near future as i have done atleast cleared the requirements All the best for everyoen who i stalking the exam in future.

Raissa Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi Gramesh and CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm stuck with TSE too, I took it 5 times and always got 45 Do you recomend to take TOEFL ibt instead of TSE? Which material do you recomend to prepare for this new TOEFL? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramesh14 Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hi MYGOAL2K6, Thanks a lot, Its not much different for previous TOEFL, but its lengthy (4 hrs) and of course speaking section, which i have found it to be easire than TSE. They have given me an analysis for each and every section in the score report, which is really helpful in understanding what mistakes i made and how can we improve our score. In terms of preparation, i had Barrons 2004 book for TOEFL, and i took the practice exam on TOEFL website. it was very informative in terms of speaking and writing sections. All the best Ramesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akus2004 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hello Does NABP allow not to take TSE, instead pass TOEFL IBT, in order to meet the requirements for obtaining FPGEC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramesh14 Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Akus2004, Yes, NABP does allow you to take TOEFL-iBT instead of TSE, this was a recent change which was made by NABP and is also shown up in the NABP website. But they have kept minimum acceptable scores for each and every section on TOEFL-iBT.........look at this ........i have copied and pasted it from NABP website FPGEE, TOEFL, and TSE Score Expirations Eliminated 8/11/05 The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) is pleased to announce that the NABP Executive Committee has approved the elimination of the two-year time expiration of the Test of English as a Foreign Language™ (TOEFL®), Test of Spoken English™ (TSE®), and Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination® (FPGEE®) scores. Effective immediately, a passing TOEFL or TSE score reported to NABP per procedure retains its validity, giving the candidate as much time as needed to pass the FPGEE without having to retake the language portion of the Certificate program. Previously, candidates were required to pass the TOEFL and TSE within either two years before or two years after passing the FPGEE to maintain the validity of their passing scores. In addition, NABP has eliminated the two-year time limit on the length of the validity of a candidate's last FPGEE score. Please note Educational Testing Services® (ETS®) has not changed its policy and will continue to report TOEFL and TSE scores for a period of two years only. NABP has also modified the acceptable language tests for Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee™ (FPGEC®) Certification based on the ETS phase out of the TOEFL and TSE. These tests will be replaced by the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT). Effective September 24, 2005, candidates may submit TOEFL iBT scores in place of the old TOEFL and TSE scores. Over the next year, the new TOEFL iBT will be phased in worldwide as the old TOEFL is phased out country by country. The TSE examination will continue to be administered until June 2006. During this transition period, either minimal acceptable TOEFL iBT scores or the combination of minimal acceptable TOEFL/TSE scores will satisfy the language requirements for FPGEC certification. The minimal acceptable scores are as follows: TSE – 50 Computer-based TOEFL – 213 Paper-based TOEFL – 550 TOEFL iBT: Writing – 24 Speaking – 26 Listening – 18 Reading – 21 The decision to modify the FPGEC requirements comes after a total review of the language requirements for certification. This modification will not diminish the standards set for certification, but will allow candidates additional flexibility in the certification process. For more information about the changes to the FPGEC Certification requirements, please visit NABP’s Web site at www.nabp.net or contact the Customer Service Department at 847/391-4406 or via e-mail at custserv@nabp.net.

gramesh14 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hello everyone, First of all thank you all!!!!!!!! I am sorry for the delayed response, I was busy at my work place. I prepared TOEFL book (Barrons 2005), as there was no book for TOEFL-iBT at that time. To be frank enough I did not practice enough on speaking part either. After listening to the sample answers on TOEFL-iBT on toefl site, i was pretty confident. Goodthing about TOEFL-iBT speaking part is that you can see the time on the screen, which was very helpful in planning the reponse and ending it within the time period, unlike TSE where you dont know the time when you have to end or continue speaking (thats my view) Apart from that I was just reading the essays posted on the TOEFL-essays part in test magic, which also helped me a ton.. Of course I would say reading comrehension is very long in the new patter for which you have to be very patient. Last but not the least TSE exam is just 15 min....but this new TOEFL exam takes 4 hrs. Most of my friends who had problems with TSE, cleared TOEFL-iBT with no probelms (ofcourse if not first time.....second time) Wish you all goodluck Ramesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
