1. If I have
questions about my December 2005 score, is it possible
to have my examination hand scored?
NABP offers those candidates who have a question about
their scores the opportunity to have their examination
hand scored. In keeping with NABP's quest for quality
assurance those who failed the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate
Equivalency ExaminationR (FPGEER) and whose scores were
either two points within passing and/or whose answer sheets
had omitted answers that if answered correctly may have
been sufficient to pass, these answer sheets have already
been hand scored and verified. For others, the requirements
for hand scoring are: send a letter requesting hand scoring
accompanied by a certified check, cashier's check, or
money order for $100 payable in United States funds through
a US bank, made out to NABP. The letter and check must
arrive at NABP prior to May 1, 2006. Hand scoring may
take two to three weeks.
2.When will the next FPGEE
be held?
The next FPGEE will be held June 24, 2006.
3. Where will it be administered?
The June 24, 2006 FPGEE will be offered at an eastern,
midwestern, and western site. (Specific locations coming
soon.)
4. Is my previous Authorization
To Test (ATT) still valid?
Your previous ATT has been cancelled. Registration Letters
for the June 24, 2006 examination will be mailed in
late February or early March.
5. If I have not yet applied,
can I still apply to the FPGEC program?
Yes. NABP continues to accept FPGEC applications.
6. If I have been accepted
to take the June 24, 2006 FPGEE, do I have to take it
on that date?
You have the opportunity to take the test on one of
two consecutive dates. The only exception to this two
consecutive opportunities rule is if you are unable
to take the second examination because you cannot receive
a visa or have a serious health problem and we receive
a copy of the denial from the visa issuing body or documentation
from a health professional prior to the second examination.
In that case you will be eligible for a third and final
opportunity. No one irregardless of circumstances will
be allowed more than three opportunities although you
can reapply to the FPGEC program.
7. What if I want to change
my test date?
(a) If June 24, 2006, is your second and last chance
to sit for the FPGEE administration and you do not take
the examination (not due to a visa or health problem),
then your record will be closed, all fees will be forfeited,
and you will have to reapply to take the FPGEE.
(b) If June 24, 2006, is your first chance to sit for
the FPGEE administration and you are currently registered
to take the June 24, 2006 examination, but you cannot
take the June 24, 2006 examination, NABP must receive
your cancellation request in writing prior to May 19,
2006, to defer taking the test to December 2006 in order
to avoid a $125 penalty fee.
8. What if I want to change
my test date after the May 19, 2006 deadline date?
If the June 24, 2006 examination is your first opportunity
to sit for the FPGEE examination and NABP receives your
cancellation request after May 19, 2006, you will have
to pay a $125 penalty fee prior to registering for the
December 2006 examination.
9. What if I want to change
my test city?
NABP must receive your request in writing with your
money order of $50 before May 19, 2006, if you want
to change your test city. If we are unable to make the
change, your $50 fee will be refunded.
10. What will happen if I
register for the examination, and I don’t show up?
If you register for the examination and then fail to
show for the June 24, 2006 examination after you have
registered, you will forfeit all fees and your FPGEC
program file and record will be closed. You will need
to reapply if you wish to take the FPGEE at a later
date.
11. How long will it take
until I receive my score report?
NABP will mail your FPGEC examination results to the
address on your Score Report Address Form approximately
eight to 10 weeks after the test date. Your score cannot
be obtained earlier and will not be reported by telephone,
fax, or e-mail.
12. What if I fail the examinations?
How do I reapply?
If you fail the FPGEE, you may apply to take the examination
again. If you choose to reapply, you must follow the
directions in the FPGEC Application/Registration Bulletin.
13. As a first-time candidate
what if I cannot take the examination at either time?
As a first-time candidate if you cannot take the examination
at either time (June 24, 2006 or the December 2006),
your record will be closed and all fees will be forfeited.
You will need to reapply if you wish to take the FPGEE
at a later date.
