Is there one pass mark for every DHA exam?
No. DHA sets the pass mark exam by exam, from 50% to 70%, so a single figure quoted online is wrong for most professions. Use your own exam's row in the table.
Does DHA tell me my score?
Pass or Fail in your Sheryan account - the score is not shared. A domain-scored mock exam is the only way to see where you stand before the real one.
What score should I aim for in practice tests?
Comfortably above your exam's pass mark on full-length, timed practice - a margin of 10 to 15 points is a sensible target, because a mock is only a sample of the real paper.
