eventually you gonna have to do credential evaluation.  some states do not require evaluation if you have masters degree from US school.  go to www.cpees.org which will be helpful for your evaulation process.  if you want to take FE without evaluating your degree, you can do so with many states, such as michigan, louisiana, texas, arizona just to name a few.  however, there are states which requires you to evaluate your transcript even to take FE exam, such as nebraska, illinois, viriginia, florida, if i am not wrong.
