math problems on the NAPLEX are not simple nor that easy, you have to memorize the simple rules and recall it fast on the exam. they are easy points, so don't lose them. Also, focus on the pediatric dosing rules. APHA first Chapter is good enough. More Calculations—Pediatric Rules this one for pediatric rules. good luck.

no need to memorize, it's all provided in the patient profile, good luck

I didn't get the training yet but I will "hopefully", after I get the permanent Michigan License. I will tell you later regarding these courses when I am actively enrolled. :tup:

These courses are not related to where you were graduated from, they are offered by the chain pharmacy you work for. Rite Aid offered me these courses, and they really want you to do it because it will increase the profitability for the company when you give FLU shots and do MTM for Insurance companies. You need to check with the employer for these 2 courses, and by the way, I am a foreign intern as well working for Rite Aid and waiting for NAPLEX score and my MPJE is on Thursday, The Day After Tomorrow :-D. Wish me LUCK. Good Luck to you too.

MTM and also do the Immunization course to be an immunizing pharmacist. Good Luck and Congratulations on both NAPLEX and MPJE.

I don't know why you couldn't see your scores, but everyone else checked their scores already. You should call ETS and ask about the scores of may 3rd 'cause it's already posted online. Good Luck

I also did good, even though I didn't imagine that I could get good scores on may 3rd, but I received an overall score of 108. Reading:29 Listening:26 Speaking:26 Writing: 27

I got my may 3rd scores, an overall score of 108: reading: 29 listening: 26 speaking: 26 writing: 27

I'll tell you something, regarding the speaking section, I started earlier than the others, maybe that was a positive thing to reduce the amount of distraction for a while, but to be honest with you, I am so bad in talking about familiar topic and maybe that's why I got fair in the first two questions, but in the 4th question, I was completely devastated because I couldn't complete reading the topic and I lost all the notes I wrote down because when it was time to listen to the academic lecture which explained part of the topic, I couldn't understand my own handwriting, can you believe that?, so I was confused and didn't know what to do, and kept going uhhh, ummm, and I received a good score on part 3 and 4. That was pretty funny and ironic. Part 5 and 6 were very good and I used connected ideas without hesitation. Finally, I ended up with 1 fair and 2 goods. The writing section was never a probelm for me 'cause everytime I scored above the required score, and here is how I used to do it. For the first essay, it's always about making a comparison between what the lecturer is going to say to oppose the ideas illustrated in the topic, and that's the key, just try to put the points one by one and compare it with what the lecturer said about it. No ideas or creativity. Regarding the second essay, try to choose one of the choices and use two examples. The one I had was regarding if technology decreased the creativity among children, so my choice was; I disagree and I used computers and television as two examples to support that technology may improve children's creativity. Simplicity is the key, at least for my case. Good luck :grad::tup:

I got an overall score of 108, Reading: 29, Listening: 26, Speaking: 26, and Writing: 27. Congratulations to all those who passed, that was my 5th trial and I finally did it. Good luck guys, and I wish you all a successful career and a joyful life.

Sorry, but I forgot to tell the one who uploaded the youtube presentation to make it downladable so we can upload it later on iReport section for CNN. Thanks again.

Please guys, consider rating the youtube presentation with 5 stars, because this will make more popular and it will be on the fron page soon. Thank you. P.S. Don't forget to send the link to CNN also by any means. :tup:

Then it's a hopeless case Knok, and I'm sorry to tell you that. I believe when they see the drop down of pharmacists number for 2008, they will take the change into consideration. I don't think they will do or think of doing anything in the meantime.

Medical students seeking residency in US are not asked for the Toefl test anymore. They have somthing called CS; an interview with some paid actors pretending to be patients. Now, if we're going to talk to the NABP, then I suggest that we find a way somehow to convince them that such an alternative, or similar to it, is applicable for foreign pharmacists. They should examine our english proficiency by themselves or by the boad of the state we apply for it's internship license, or they can make the Toefl with an overall score rather than requiring a separate minimum score for each section. I believe that this BLACKMAIL should stop in oneway or another. You have all my support guys. A.J

For Mi intern license, I called the Board of Pharmacy myself and I already sent my application after june 2007, and they put my aplication on hold until I send them the FPGEC certificate by mail or by fax. Prior to june 2007 all applicants who received their intern license or yet waiting for it because of the Toefl iBt are qualified to sit for NAPLEX without the FPGEE certificate. I'm still waiting for my revised score report for Toefl to send it to NABP and then fax the certificate to MI Board of Pharmacy.
