What the GP exam covers
The DHA exam for general practitioners covers the whole of general medicine. Expect short clinical cases with one best answer, mostly about diagnosis and the next step in management.
How the real DHA exam works
| Format | Computer-based exam at a Prometric test centre, multiple choice with one best answer |
|---|---|
| Length for GPs | 150 questions in 3 hours, including registration |
| Pass mark | 60%. You only get pass or fail, no score |
| Language | English |
| Fee | USD 280 per attempt, paid to Prometric |
| Attempts | 3 attempts in total across DHA, DOH and MOHAP |
| Consultants | Some consultant titles are assessed in an oral interview instead |
Figures as of November 2026. DHA and Prometric can change the format and fees. Always confirm on Sheryan before you book.
Do you need the exam at all?
Many doctors do not. Specialists and consultants with a Tier 1 certificate from countries such as the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany or Switzerland are usually exempt. GPs who passed USMLE Step 3 or PLAB 1 and 2 can be exempt as well. A gap in practice of more than 3 years removes the exemption for non-UAE nationals.
