SCFHS Exam Practice Questions Online 2026: SMLE, SNLE, SPLE, SDLE and Allied Health Banks with Timed Mock Tests, Plus a Study Plan for Saudi Licensing
Where to practise online for the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties exams in 2026: which question bank matches SMLE, SNLE, SPLE, SDLE and the allied health classification exams, how the chaptered banks and three timed mocks work, the scaled pass mark, a study plan, and the cost in SAR, INR, PKR and EGP.
Saudi Arabia's licensing exams have their own names, and candidates often search for "SMLE question bank" or "SNLE practice questions" without realising that these are the same Prometric-delivered papers, built on the same professional blueprints, as the other Gulf exams. This guide maps each SCFHS exam to the right bank, explains the scaled scoring, and gives a plan.
Which SCFHS exam, which bank
| SCFHS exam | Who sits it | Practice bank |
|---|---|---|
| SMLE (Saudi Medical Licensing Exam) | Doctors seeking classification | General Practice (GEN5331), about 5,600 questions |
| SNLE (Saudi Nursing Licensure Exam) | Nurses | Registered Nurse (RNT0312), about 2,750 questions |
| SPLE (Saudi Pharmacist Licensure Exam) | Pharmacists | Pharmacist (PHO5481), about 3,000 questions |
| SDLE (Saudi Dental Licensure Exam) | General dentists | General Dentist (GEN5301), about 5,500 questions |
| Allied health classification exams | Physiotherapists, lab, radiography, anaesthesia technicians and others | The matching bank on the exams page |
Each exam has its own guide: SMLE, SNLE, SPLE and SDLE. Specialists are classified through Mumaris+ and may be exempt or sent to a specialty assessment (classification explained).
What makes the SCFHS papers different
- Scaled scoring. SCFHS reports a scaled score rather than a raw percentage, and the SMLE in particular is considered the most demanding of the Gulf physician papers. Aim well clear of the usual 60% benchmark on mocks.
- Breadth. The SMLE covers internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry, emergency and community medicine at independent-practitioner level.
- Order of events. You sit the exam after Mumaris+ classification and DataFlow, not before (Mumaris+ step by step).
- Attempts. SCFHS limits attempts within an eligibility period, so a failed sitting is expensive in time, not just fees.
How the banks work
Every bank is chaptered to the blueprint with a detailed explanation on each question, includes three full-length timed mock papers drawn from the whole bank, and gives unlimited retries for three months. Chapter 1 of each exam is a free 15-question preview, no card required, so you can judge the style against the SCFHS candidate handbook before you pay.
An eight-week SMLE plan
| Weeks | Focus |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Internal medicine chapters, 50 questions a day, error log by system |
| 3 | Surgery and emergency medicine |
| 4 | Paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology. Mock 1 |
| 5 | Psychiatry, community medicine, ethics; weakest three domains from mock 1 |
| 6 | Second pass on wrong answers. Mock 2 |
| 7 | High-yield lists (GP high-yield topics), guidelines check |
| 8 | Mock 3 four days out, error log review, rest |
Nurses, pharmacists and dentists can compress this to six weeks using the same shape; the 30-day plan is the minimum version.
What it costs
| Bank, 3 months with 3 mocks | USD | SAR | INR | PKR | EGP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SNLE, SPLE and allied health banks | USD 33.99 | about SAR 127 | about INR 3,000 | about PKR 9,500 | about EGP 1,670 |
| SMLE and SDLE banks | USD 64.99 | about SAR 244 | about INR 5,700 | about PKR 18,200 | about EGP 3,200 |
Prices are in US dollars and shown before checkout; home-currency figures use fixed rates (USD 1 = INR 88, PKR 280, PHP 57, EGP 49) and your card issuer sets the final conversion. Access runs for three months from activation.
The exam itself costs about USD 200 to 320 per attempt (SCFHS exam fees), and a failed attempt also burns part of your eligibility window.
