FPGEE® Tips
In my opinion, at least 2-3 months (4 hours/day).
Passing rate for FPGEE® is about 65%.
Recommend Books :
Comprehensive Pharmacy Review by Shargel
Your own pharmacy books/notes
Manan Shroff's MCQ Reference Guide
What constitutes most part of FPGEE®
FPGEE® tests your basic knowledge of pharmacy. The area covered is very vast and you really have to sharpen up your basics if you want to be among the 65% who pass the exam in first attempt.
What happens after I have passed FPGEE®?
Once done, you must take and pass TSE® and TOEFL® (if not already done so) to get the certification! You must contact your state board for further instructions. Usually, you must register with your state board as an intern. Then you must start calling the pharmacy recruiters (District Managers/Supervisors of the chain pharmacies, professional recruiters, etc) and set up an interview (either over the phone or in person). Once hired (which is not tough considering the Pharmacist shortage in USA), your company will sponsor a work visa (H1B) for you which takes about 15 days by "premium processing" (if you already have green card or citizenship, you don't need a visa).
In my opinion, at least 2-3 months (4 hours/day).

NAPLEX® Tips
In my opinion, at least 2 months (4 hours/day)
National average for NAPLEX® pass rate is about 90% whereas NAPLEX® passing rate for foreign graduates is about 70%.
Q1. What constitutes most part of NAPLEX®?
Pharmacology: Classifications, MOA, ADRs, Interactions. Ensure that you pay more attention on specific characters of the drugs such as ADRs, special contraindications, interactions, etc. Study selective, don't try to jam up your brains with every small detail, take it easy, make it less confusing for yourself.

Q 2. Do I need to study calculations?
How about medicinal chemistry.
NAPLEX® contains a lot of questions on calculations, be familiar with pKa, milliequivalents, ratios, proportions, alligation, creatinine clearance, conversions, dropper rates, calories calculations, etc. Calculations are the most time consuming and carry a lot of weightage. They can play a crucial role in passing the NAPLEX®.
Medicinal Chemistry is almost none, don't bother.
Q 3. I have been preparing for a while now but how can I find out how well I am prepared for the test?
Do practice questions from Appleton & Lange, see how you fare in them.
