Fpgee

[Narmada]

Hi,

I am on H4 visa here in the US.I am a B.Pharm graduate from india (2002) & trying to give the Fpgee exam .I had a few Q about it:
1)Does it take a long time for the fpgee to process your application? How long? How early do you suggest that i start the process?
2)Do you need to have a work visa or a GC to give the exam?
3)How long does it take to prepare for the exams.Are there any books you suggest.
4))How many Q are there usually in the fpgee and the time alloted.
5)what is the format of FPGee? Is the exam graded just as pass/fail or are there marks?


Thanks,
Narmada

Give it 3 months. How early? It is your decision to make.
2)Do you need to have a work visa or a GC to give the exam?
No, Just a valid passport.

3)How long does it take to prepare for the exams.Are there any books you suggest.

Depends on you ability. I have seen people needing 2 months to 3 years and several attempts to take the exam. Normally it takes 3-6 months for most people. Sorry, dont know about books.

4))How many Q are there usually in the fpgee and the time alloted.

Check www.nabp.net. If I am not wrong, exam had 180+180 questions broken into 2 session in a day. Overall it is a 6 hour exam.

5)what is the format of FPGee? Is the exam graded just as pass/fail or are there marks?

75 is Pass limit. They have their own grading system, but you got to get 75.
