Hi! For those who passed the PEBC Evaluating Exam! Congratulations! I would also want to ask some questions about the chapters in Comprehensive Pharmacy Review by Shargel that are important to know/study? Is there any other review materials that I need to read? Your comment/reply will be highly appreciated. Tnx!
In reference to Mat's Message; I was informed recently that International Pharmacy Graduates are granted 4 chances at attempting both parts of the Qualifying Exam (instead of 3)before being asked to present evidence, acceptable to the Board, of successful completion of remediation according to Board specifications. Leaving Pharmacists with 5 chances not only 4 in total !!
Hi John,
Thanks for the update. Can I ask where you sourced this information. The PEBC website still states:
After 3 unsuccessful attempts, if you are able to present evidence, acceptable to the Board, of successful completion of remediation according to Board specifications, the Board is prepared to consider your petition for one final (fourth) attempt. Documentation confirming completion of remediation must be received at PEBC at least three weeks before the date of the examination.

Hello there,
This is on PEBC website once you pass EE
After I successfully complete the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination, how long do I have to pass the Pharmacist Qualifying Examination?
After you complete the Evaluating Examination, there is no specified timeframe during which you must take and pass the Qualifying Examination. However, both Parts of the Qualifying Examination must be successfully completed within a three-year period of passing one Part. If you do not complete the process within this time period, you will be required to apply to the Board asking for the opportunity to take the remaining Part. If the examination and blueprint have changed significantly since you started the Qualifying Examination process, you may be required to complete both Parts.
I hope it will be help full.
And Riz this is also on PEBC website and please clarify you're self.............
What happens if I do not successfully pass the Pharmacist Evaluating Examination within 5 years of completing Document Evaluation?
If you are unable to write the Evaluating Examination within the five-year period from your Document Evaluation or if you have any remaining attempts and the five years from Document Evaluation has expired, your file will be closed. You will then need to request in writing (e-mail, fax, or letter) to have your file re-opened, including in your request your full name, PEBC ID# and current mailing address. You will then receive instructions in a letter sent via Canada Post informing you what you must do to have your file re-opened for you to take your remaining attempts for a renewed five-year period.
It means you will re do and re apply EE for another 5 years and get 4 attemtps again.

Hi Riz,
In answer to your first question, this is from the PEBC website
"Candidates are permitted a maximum of three (3) attempts for each Part of the Qualifying Examination.
After 3 unsuccessful attempts, if you are able to present evidence, acceptable to the Board, of successful completion of remediation according to Board specifications, the Board is prepared to consider your petition for one final (fourth) attempt. Documentation confirming completion of remediation must be received at PEBC at least three weeks before the date of the examination.
If you fail your fourth and final attempt at either part of the Qualifying Examination, you will not be permitted to retake the Qualifying Examination and therefore cannot proceed further toward Board certification. You are not permitted to attempt the PEBC certification process more than once. In other words, you cannot retake the Evaluating Examination and proceed again to retake either Part I (MCQ) or Part II (OSCE) of the Qualifying Examination.
If you withdraw before the start of an examination, it does not count as one of your attempts at the examination. Once you have begun an examination sitting, it does count as one of your attempts.
If you pass one part of the Qualifying Examination and fail the other, you may re-take the part you failed at a future scheduled examination session. You must submit a new application and fee for the required part. (Please note that Part II will be offered in a limited number of centres in the Fall Sitting.)"
As for the amount of time you have to pass the Qualifying Exam after passing the Evaluating Exam, I am still looking in to that. There is a time restriction on how long you have to pass both QE exams, if you have already taken on part as stated below....
"Both Parts I and II of the Qualifying Examination must be successfully completed within a three-year period of passing one Part of the Qualifying Examination."
I don't think there is a suggested time for taking the Qualifying Exam after the Evaluating Exam but I will lokk in to this further.
Hope that helps,
Mat :)
