Please be reminded that this is not a place to fight over which is a better review center. This forum is created to help others reach someone else goal which is to pass the FPGEE. The more review centers the better because others will have the option to choose which suits them. Remember that all teachers/tutors wanted their students to pass so they will surely give all their best, let's just say 25% will come from the teacher's effort and the rest of 75% will come from the students effort, so if student A does not give her 75% effort then he fails even if he attends the review. I rest my case and hope this will not create a big fuzz. Lets make friends not war "peace to all".

Just visited pharmareviewrx website, they will be offering an online review come July email them to get more information.

I cant remember what I answered here but I checked on some of my friends and the answers are as follows: 6A yes 6 B-no 6c enter your Professional Regulation Commision- PRC ID date of issue 6d- im not sure if you still need to answer this, since you answered 6b-NO You have indicated that you just passed the licensure exams in 2009.May I know if you took the 5 year course program in the Philippines? If yes then you are qualified to take FPGEE. If not then you still need one more year inorder to qualify for the FPGEE.

Hi Knok, I just passed the FPGEE last Sept 2010 and currently preparing for TOEFL ibt. I've seen the list of TOEFL books you have suggested and I'm a bit confuse on which one should I buy. Would you know the difference of 2a and 2b and which one is best suited for 2c is it 2a or 2b ? Appreciate your output regarding this.

Hi Kaye06, I believe there will be no problem if you have worked already and enroll in Davao. I met 2 ladies who worked in NY as a pharmacy technician and enrolled themselves in Davao to fulfill the 5 year curriculum and they were allowed to take FPGEE exams.

Hi insanely100, please read threads about 4year graduate after 2003 http://www.www.urch.com/forums/fpgee/101...er-2003-a.html (For foreign pharmacists who graduated after 2003) you'll see they have enrolled for another one more year to comply with the new requirements.

Hi insanely100, It all depends what year you graduated, if you are a graduate of pharmacy in year 2003 onwards then you need one more year to be able to fulfill the requirement of NABP which is 5 years. As what other Filipinos have been doing they enroll in a school which offer one more year example is Centro Escolar University or in Davao- University of Immaculate Conception. For those who graduated pharmacy before 2003 that means 2002, 2001 and below then all you need to fulfill is FPGEE and TOEFL ibt. Both of these test are conducted only in US. After passing FPGEE and TOEFL you will receive your FPGEC certificate then thats the time you can have pharmacy internsip of 1500 hours in the state of california (it depends on what state you want to do your internsip).After internsip then you can take the state board NABPLEX. Whether you are a permanent resident of US as long as you took pharmacy in a foreign country aside from US then you are oblige to take these two exams before you can take your pharmacy internship here in US.

I've heard that unconfirmed news as well and they were saying 2012. Not sure though if this is true. I guess will just have to wait for nabp to release its announcement.

Hi Diaa, I want to make a correction I am not advertising nor connected with Pharmareviewrx (Dr Imasa). I am a former student of Dr. Imasa who attended his review in Upland, CA last April 2010. Dr. Imasa has been teaching FPGEE in our country for quite sometime and in August 2009 a group of 15 students based in US invited him over to California to conduct a review. He came for the second batch in April 2010 which I attended. He's supposed to have the third batch last July-August 2010 but they have to cancel it because they do not have a census to cover the expenses. They will have the third batch on February 2011. Diaa there maybe some members here who dont advise attending a review center but we have different capabilities right? If you think you need one then I suggest go ahead but if you think you dont need one then go for self study. After all you're the one deciding for yourself and not others. I've graduated for almost 23 years and that made me decide to attend one to refresh myself and I must say that I dont regret attending or enrolling myself in a review center infact I was successful on my first attempt. But I can say its not a 100% guarantee that you will pass FPGEE if you did enroll yourself in a review center, of course you need to do your part as well. Study well and I wish you all the best goodluck.

Hi simplereg, I also attended Dr. Imasa's lecture in Philippines cant remember our batch that time but I didnt finish it coz I need to work in Singapore. I am now based in California. Would you like to meet up with Dr Imasa Im planning to visit him in his next review session on February 2011 in Upland CA. I can give you his email ad if you wish to communicate with him.

Aside from the web links that I will be sharing w/ you guys (please see below) I studied the following materials as well: 1. Manan Shroff Management Theories and Q and A 2. Manan Shroff Reference Guide for Foreign Pharmacy Licensing Exam (Q and A) and Theories 3. Dr Imasa's Review Materials from www.pharmareviewrx.com 4. Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews in Pharmacology I had CPR but I felt overwhelmed by the informations you could get on this book so I stick more on Dr. Imasa's Lecture notes. My advice for those who will be taking the exams as what others have said DO NOT MEMORIZE so much information, its better if you try to understand the concept that way its easier . And speaking for myself I see to it that I have to re-read them at least twice/thrice coz you tend to forget it...one passing is not enough for me. Useful links for you to study: When using the links below, checked first the topics from the FPGEE blueprint and look them on the web links I shared to you below. Actually these links are only supplementary notes they are actually in summary form if you want a comprehensive lecture you might need the actual book I advise go check the library then. What I liked about these links is that its easier to understand, they provide animations which made it easier for me to understand and they have graded Q and A's. I do hope the informations I shared to you guys will help you in your own journey to pass FPGEE. Welcome to Facebook

I suggest www.pharmareviewrx.com this is where I attended their review last April 2010. I highly recommended them I'm very satisfied with their services. Check them out they're having a review on Feb 2011 but this you have to attend in person its not online. Their online services will be conducted a month before the exams which they called final revision or coaching.

I would like to share with you my experience so you'll have an idea what I did before I passed the FPGEE. I must say it was not an easy task and it was indeed a loooong journey for me.NO SHORT CUTS for me. Before I started to review for FPGEE I decided to take PTCB (Pharmacy Technician Exams) so I will have a fall back just incase I wont make it for FPGEE. It took me about 6 weeks to prepare for the exams coz I must admit that I graduated BS Pharmacy in 1987 and could barely recall the knowledge I learned 23 years ago. I cant believe Im revealing my age here hahaha. I have actually shared the links I used for preparing for the PTCB Exams on two of the yahoo e-grps I joined in, if some of you may decide to take PTCB I would gladly share them the web links I used, just leave a message to me. I actually attended a two weeks FPGEE review course with Pharmareviewrx (www.pharmareviewrx.com) in Rancho Cucamonga CA in April 2010. I was totally satisfied with their output. I almost finished my 5 subject notebook and have to buy a new set of notebook to take down notes ...just imagine how intensive the lecture was for two weeks, the review covered almost all the FPGEE subjects from chemistry, physiology,pharmacology, immunology,genetics, statistics, biochemistry, ethics etc etc . They provided us with review materials and we had a one month online revision or coaching in August before we took the exams in September 30. The lecturer is Dr. Imasa has a pharmacy degree and continued Medicine to become a doctor. He's been lecturing pharmacology for almost 20 years so he really knows the important facts to study in FPGEE as he too took the FPGEE with a score of 134. Dr Imasa is an easy to approach person so you wont hesitate to ask questions for clarification just incase you dont understand something on the lecture. Oh yeah please do not misinterpret me sharing info about the review center I'm just here to share how I PASSED the exams if you think you need help from a review center then dont hesitate to contact them. I know some peolpe do not believe in attending/enrolling into a review center but in my case since I graduated 23 years ago I guess I need to refresh myself with Pharmacology especially. Going back on how I had the self review. I know for myself that if I stay home there will be alot of distractions and delays so I actually studied in Kaity Geissert Library in Torrance. I go to the library by 11am and will finish as long as I can. I actually made a schedule but I find it difficult to stick to it so every week I kept on revising my "to do list" of topics to study per week in short it was a flexible one. At first it was difficult for me to stay at the library for 4-5 hours but as the days goes on I got the hang of it and could stay for 6-8 hours the most. Then I gave myself a break at night just watching TV shows but a month before the exams that was in August Pharmareviewrx gave us at least two-three hours revision 3 times a week with Dr. Imasa thru skype conference. I must say you'll really get the most of your money. Aside from the web links that I will be sharing you guys I studied the following materials as well: 1. Manan Shroff Management Theories and Q and A 2. Manan Shroff Reference Guide for Foreign Pharmacy Licensing Exam (Q and A) and Theories 3. Dr Imasa's Review Materials 4.
