About these questions: original items written to the published blueprints, no recalled or leaked content, and pass marks taken from the DHA guideline. How we write our questions. Last reviewed September 2026.
How GCC licensing exams actually work
Every GCC health authority requires most overseas-trained professionals to pass an assessment before it will issue a licence. In practice that is a computer-based multiple-choice exam of roughly 150 single-best-answer questions over three hours, delivered by Prometric for DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB - and by Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi.
Pass marks are not uniform. On the DHA exams they range from 50% to 70% depending on the exact title: nursing sits at 50%, pharmacist at 60%, most specialist physician papers at 65%, and consultant-level papers at 70%. Anyone quoting a single “60% for the DHA exam” is wrong for most titles, and other authorities set their own figures. Results are reported pass or fail only - your score is never released.
Attempts are capped, and the cap is shared. The Unified PQR allows three attempts across all UAE authorities, not three with each. After three failures a final attempt may be granted with a different authority. That is why preparation matters more here than in most licensing systems.
Your licence title changes the exam. Specialist applicants almost always sit the written paper. Several authorities assess consultant applicants by an oral panel instead - DHA requires not less than five clinical scenarios, and DOH, SCFHS and OMSB run their own formats. Holders of recognised Tier-1 board certifications may be exempt from the written exam altogether.
Before you book, confirm your own route with our Prometric exam checker and your eligibility against the PQR. If you are still gathering documents, our guides on Dataflow verification and the wider licensing process cover what comes before the exam.
