Dear colleagues,

My Toefl will expire in April 2004. I am thinking about taking the FPGEE but not in the near one since I am busy with my master's. Can I report my Toefl scores to NABP now and take the FPGEE later? and is there a time limit? My wife is a pharmacist too and she'll sit for the test before me so I was wondering what is the best preparation text book? I know that the comprehensive pharmacy review book and the test are a must, we also have Katzung's clinical pharmacology,are they enough or would you recommend any other books, cds? Thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate it.

You're right Mr J. and Remi the score depends on the toefl yoy're taking. Check the Napb for more informations:
TOEFL, TSE, and TOEFL iBT Requirements
To be eligible for FPGEC Certification, applicants
must pass both the TOEFL and TSE. Applicants must
obtain a total score of 550 or higher on the paperbased
TOEFL or 213 or higher on the computer-based
TOEFL and 50 or higher on the TSE.
On September 24, 2005, the FPGEC began accepting
official score reports for the TOEFL iBT in lieu of TOEFL
and TSE scores. The TOEFL iBT is the result of extensive
research conducted by the Educational Testing Service®
(ETS®) to produce a new generation of English language tests
and instructional tools. This new generation of assessment
measures all four language skills – listening, reading,
speaking, and writing. The TOEFL iBT is designed to provide
students and credentialing bodies with more information
about the learners’ English abilities and how they can
improve. The minimal acceptable score for the TOEFL iBT
is 18 for listening, 21 for reading, 26 for speaking, and 24 for
writing. Applicants must attain passing scores in each of the
four sections as indicated and reported on one official score
report as a result of one testing session. Official score reports
with a less than minimum score in any section will not be
considered. The new TOEFL iBT will be phased in worldwide
as the old TOEFL is phased out country by country. The TSE
will continue to be administered until June 2006. During
the transition period, either minimal acceptable TOEFL iBT
scores or the combination of minimal acceptable TOEFL and
TSE scores will satisfy the language requirements for FPGEC
Certification.
Previously, applicants were required to complete the
TOEFL and TSE within two years of passing the FPGEE.
This requirement has been eliminated and there will no
longer be a two-year time limit on the length of validity of
an official score report for either the TOEFL or TSE that
has been received by the FPGEC. Please note that TOEFL/
TSE Services has not changed its policy and will continue
to report scores for a period of two years only.
The TOEFL and TSE or TOEFL iBT must be completed
by all foreign pharmacy graduates, even those who are
native English speakers. There are no exceptions or
waivers to these requirements.
1. Applicants for FPGEC Certification must request that
TOEFL/TSE Services submit an authentic report of
TOEFL and TSE or TOEFL iBT scores directly to
the FPGEC. Use the FPGEC identification number
9103, and provide the TOEFL and TSE or TOEFL
iBT registration numbers and full name as they appear
on the TOEFL and TSE or TOEFL iBT score reports.
Official score reports must be submitted directly to the
FPGEC by TOEFL/TSE Services.
Note: TOEFL/TSE Services reports TOEFL and TSE
or TOEFL iBT scores for a limited time after the test.
Contact TOEFL/TSE Services for further details.
2. If the name on the TOEFL and TSE or TOEFL iBT
score reports does not identically match the name
submitted on the application form for the FPGEE,
the applicant must notify the FPGEC, in writing,
immediately. (Refer to the “Applicant’s Name” section
on page 18 for more instructions.)

TOEFL and TSE or TOEFL iBT contact:
