APhA Complete Review for the FPGEE, (The) 2nd Edition

The FPGEE (Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination®) is the tallest hurdle for graduates of foreign pharmacy schools who wish to practice in the United States.  With a pass rate that is under 60%, the FPGEE is a daunting 5½ hour, 250-question exam that tests a wide range of knowledge in four major areas of pharmacy education:

•             Basic biomedical sciences (21%)

•             Pharmaceutical sciences (29%)

•             Social/behavioral/administrative pharmacy sciences (15%)

•             Clinical sciences (35%)

Preparing for the FPGEE by reviewing all the material from each of your pharmacy school courses can be overwhelming.  A far better approach is to study only the information most relevant to the exam, with the key points summarized in abbreviated bullet format.
