When I applied for my CA license They didn't require CGFNS to evaluate my transcript, the Board did it by themselves. Now, Since UT wants me to have not the CES (Professional credentials evaluation) and CGFNS Certificate, I purchased both. CGFNS already issued my CES report. FOr me to have the CGFNS certificate I need to 1. Get my credentials/transcript and license/s evaluated and verified--DONE, 2. Pass the English proficiency exam---I did TOEFL and thanks God I passed, 3. Take the qualifying exam.-- I already have the authorization to test and scheduled it for July. But, in my opinion it doesn't make sense to take an exam that is a PREDICTOR if I'll pass the NCLEX or not. I already did that's why I have my CA RN license. That's why I am asking if anyone have the same experience. If there's no other way, I'll take the CGFNS qualifying exam but I want to know its difficulty level compare to NCLEX. thanks again
