Passing score & results

The DHA exam requires a minimum score of 60% to pass. However, competitive candidates aiming for faster placement often target 70%+ to demonstrate strong clinical competency. DHA may apply profession-specific adjustments, and candidates who fail may retake the exam after a mandatory waiting period, typically 45 days. Our mock exams simulate the exact scoring algorithm so you know your readiness before booking your official test date.

FAQ

Common DHA exam questions.

The DHA exam is a Prometric-administered computer-based licensing exam required by the Dubai Health Authority for healthcare professionals — including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health roles — before they can practice in Dubai. It follows DataFlow Primary Source Verification and precedes final license issuance. Learn more on our DataFlow page.
The process starts with an eligibility assessment against DHA’s PQR criteria, followed by DataFlow Primary Source Verification of your documents, then booking and passing the Prometric exam, and finally submitting your license application through DHA’s Sheryan portal. Start with our free PQR self-assessment. Full steps are on our DHA licensing page.
Requirements vary by profession and title and include a recognized qualification, a valid practice license from your country of graduation or last employment, and (for most categories) relevant clinical experience. Use our free PQR self-assessment tool to check your specific eligibility. Check eligibility on our PQR self-assessment.
DHA costs come from three separate stages: DataFlow verification, the Prometric exam fee, and the Sheryan application fee — each priced differently by profession. See our full DHA exam fees breakdown or use our Cost Calculator for an itemized estimate. Get an itemized estimate with our fee calculator.
Yes — our free PQR Self-Assessment tool lets you check your DHA eligibility based on your profession, qualification, and experience before you commit time or money to the process. Open the free PQR self-assessment.
Exemptions are possible in specific circumstances depending on your existing licenses or qualifications, but are not automatic. Confirm your specific eligibility for an exemption directly through DHA or with our team rather than assuming one applies. Review pathways on our DHA licensing page.
There is no lifetime limit on DHA exam attempts, but you must wait approximately 45 days between failed attempts. We recommend thorough preparation using mock exams before each attempt to avoid unnecessary fees and delays.
No. DHA administers profession-specific exams with tailored blueprints for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and allied health categories. Our platform provides dedicated question banks for each profession.

Yes. Prometric offers DHA testing at authorized centers worldwide. You can schedule your exam through the Prometric website once your DHA eligibility is confirmed.
