Is this Radiographer mock exam really free?

Yes. All 25 questions, your score, the domain breakdown and the full worked answers are free, with no sign-up and no email required. The paid bank is a separate, much larger set of 486 questions.

Are these real Radiographer exam questions?

They are original questions written to the official Radiographer blueprint and drawn from our full bank - not leaked or recalled items, which would breach exam security and are frequently out of date. They match the real exam's format, difficulty and domain weighting.

What is the pass mark for the Radiographer exam?

55%, for DHA exam RAD5152. The authority reports only pass or fail - your actual score is never released to you, which is why a diagnostic like this is the only way to see where you stand.

Does passing this mock mean I will pass the real exam?

No, and we will not claim otherwise. 25 questions cannot predict a full-length paper. What it does reliably show is which blueprint domains you are currently weakest in.

How many attempts do I get at the real exam?

Three in total across all UAE authorities under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements - not three per authority. Each attempt costs roughly AED 880.

What topics does the Radiographer exam cover?

The published blueprint splits into 10 domains covering 161 testable sub-topics: Radiographic Positioning & Imaging Procedures, Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology (Clinical Principles), Radiation Physics & X-ray Production, Image Production, Processing & Quality (Operation of Equipment), Radiation Protection & Safety, Patient Care & Management, Contrast Media, Pharmacology & Drug Administration, Specialized Imaging Modalities (CT, MRI, US, Mammography, Nuclear Medicine, Fluoroscopy/Angiography), Infection Control & General/Occupational Safety, Professional Practice, Ethics & Quality Assurance. The full weighting table is on this page.

How long is the Radiographer exam and how many questions?

~150 (DHA/DOH/MOHAP/QCHP/NHRA/OMSB Prometric); SCFHS/SRTLE uses 200 (2 parts of 100). Duration: ~3 hours (150-180 min) for most Prometric authorities; SCFHS = 120 min per part x2 with a 30-min break. Question count, duration and pass mark vary by authority and must be confirmed against the current candidate bulletin.

Do I need to create an account to take this mock exam?

No. There is no sign-up, no email capture and no payment. The questions, your score, the domain breakdown and the full worked answers are all free, and nothing is held back behind a form.

Sit 25 real questions at real exam pace

These are 25 genuine questions taken from our Radiographer bank - one from each domain on the official blueprint. You get 72 seconds per question, which is exactly the pace of the real RAD5152 exam (30 minutes for 25). At the end you will see which domains you are weakest in, and the full worked reasoning for every question.

25: questions
30:00: time limit
55%: pass mark

A short diagnostic cannot predict whether you will pass - only the real exam does that. It will show you, honestly, where you currently stand.

What the real Radiographer licensing exam looks like

Radiographers applying to practise in the UAE sit a computer-based multiple-choice examination - DHA exam code RAD5152, delivered through Prometric for DHA, MOHAP and SHA, and through Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi. The pass mark is 55%, and the result is reported to you as pass or fail only - your score is never released.

The paper is built to a published blueprint, which is why a domain-by-domain diagnostic is more useful than a raw percentage. Your questions above were drawn one per domain across Contrast Media, Pharmacology & Drug Administration, Image Production, Processing & Quality (Operation of Equipment), Specialized Imaging Modalities (CT, MRI, US, Mammography, Nuclear Medicine, Fluoroscopy/Angiography), Professional Practice, Ethics & Quality Assurance and 6 more - the same areas the real paper weights.

Before you can book the exam at all you need Dataflow primary source verification of your degree, licence and experience, which typically runs several weeks. Candidates routinely underestimate this and end up sitting the exam sooner after study than they planned. Check where you stand with our free eligibility checker or confirm whether your title even requires an exam using the Prometric exam checker.

You get three attempts in total across all UAE authorities - not three each - under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements. At roughly AED 880 per attempt, plus the licensing delay each failure adds to your visa and start date, the cost of going in underprepared is not really the exam fee.

What is on the Radiographer exam: the full blueprint

The published blueprint splits into 10 domains and 161 testable sub-topics. The diagnostic above samples across all of them, which is why its breakdown maps onto the structure the real paper is built from.

Radiographic Positioning & Imaging Procedures~25%23 topics
SCFHS Procedure Management = 30% incl. clinical principles
Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology (Clinical Principles)15 topics

SCFHS Professional Practice

Questions: ~150 (DHA/DOH/MOHAP/QCHP/NHRA/OMSB Prometric); SCFHS/SRTLE uses 200 (2 parts of 100)
Duration: ~3 hours (150-180 min) for most Prometric authorities; SCFHS = 120 min per part x2 with a 30-min break
Pass mark: ~60% (DHA/DOH/MOHAP generally 60%); SCFHS = scaled score 530 on a 200-800 reporting scale

Single-best-answer MCQs, one correct of four. Logistics vary by authority and must be verified against the current Prometric candidate bulletin and each authority's site: DHA/DOH(HAAD)/MOHAP (UAE) and QCHP(Qatar)/NHRA(Bahrain)/OMSB(Oman) typically run ~150 MCQ, 60% pass, computer-based via Prometric; Saudi SCFHS runs the SRTLE (200 items, up to 10% pilot, scaled pass 530/800). Content overlaps heavily across all GCC authorities because they draw on the same Prometric/CAMRT-derived competency framework. The SCFHS SRTLE blueprint (adapted from CAMRT) is the only GCC authority publishing explicit section weights and is the anchor for the domain weights below.

A worked Radiographer exam question

Every question in the diagnostic and in the paid bank is written to this standard: a clinical stem, four plausible options and the reasoning for the answer, with its source.

Contrast Media, Pharmacology & Drug Administration

Which practice best reflects safe injection and aseptic technique when drawing up contrast?

AReuse the same syringe for multiple patients if the needle is changed
BLeave the drawn-up syringe uncapped and unlabeled for hours
CTop up a used syringe from a shared vial for the next patient
DUse a single-dose vial for one patient only and discard any remainderCorrect

Why: Single-dose vials are intended for one patient and any remainder is discarded, preventing cross-contamination. Reusing syringes across patients (even with a new needle), leaving syringes unlabeled, and topping up from shared vials all breach safe-injection practice and can transmit infection.

How to use this diagnostic properly

1Sit it cold, once. Do not look anything up. A diagnostic you help yourself through tells you nothing. The number you get is only useful if it is honest.
2Read every rationale - especially the ones you got right. Getting a question right by elimination is not the same as knowing it. The worked reasoning is free above, whether or not you buy anything.
3Work weakest domain first. The breakdown orders your domains worst-first for exactly this reason. Studying what you are already good at feels productive and moves nothing.
4Re-sit under full exam conditions later. The real paper is far longer than this and stamina matters. Full-length timed papers are what the paid bank is for.
