PREFACE
Reference Guide For Foreign Pharmacy Licensing Exam Questions and Answers -
2014-2015 Edition is specifically written for students preparing for the FPGEEExam.
It has approximately 1000 FPGEETYPE questions with answers and complete explanations.
The FPGEEexam puts more emphasis on pharmacy management, statistics, immunology,
pharmacology, kinetics and biopharmaceutics, therefore an effort was made to include all of
these topics in a review guide. To prepare for pharmacology, I would highly recommend that you
take advantage of the Reference Guide For Pharmacy Licensing Exam-Theory.
Our preparation guide covers all the important topics you need to be familiar with to pass the
FPGEE. I would recommend that you to go through the FPGEEreview guide sample
questions provided by the NABP (you will get one when your approval from the
FPGEEarrives) to evaluate the importance of our review materials.
Each answer is explained thoroughly to refresh your memory on specific topics. Please do
not go through only the questions and answers. Try to understand and learn the answers
explanations. It is the best way to get the most out of this review guide.
I hope my efforts will help you to pass your key exam. I wish you the very best of luck, and
any questions or comments are always welcome.
Good Luck,
Manan Shroff
