About the General Practice Prometric Exam (GEN5331)

GEN5331 is the DHA code for the General Practice Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 12 areas: chronic diseases, acute and / or common medical problems, common pediatric problems, women health, emergency problems, common surgical problems, common psychiatric problems, common eye and ent problems, common derma problems, basic epidemiology and ebm concepts, family medicine concepts and screening and periodic health examination. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 10 named reference texts, so revision that ignores it is revision spent on the wrong material.

The sitting is 150 multiple-choice questions in 3 hours — about 1.2 minutes per question — delivered on computer at a Prometric test centre. The 60% pass mark works out at roughly 90 correct answers out of 150. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, so an unanswered question is the only guaranteed zero on the paper.

The paper is sat by doctors applying for a licence under the General Practice professional title. The general-practice tier is the entry classification for doctors who have not yet been graded as specialists, and it is where most overseas applicants start. In practice the exam is rarely the bottleneck: the regulator has to accept your qualification and experience, and Dataflow has to return primary source verification, before a booking slot exists at all. Start that paperwork alongside your revision rather than after it.

This bank holds 5,600 explained questions cut to the same headings as the GEN5331 outline, each with written reasoning that also rules out the distractors. Retries are unlimited, and the timed mocks run at the real 150-question, 3-hour, 60%-to-pass settings — so the first time you sit this paper at full pace is not the morning it counts.

One body of content, seven regulators. DHA in Dubai, MOHAP across the UAE, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, NHRA in Bahrain and OMSB in Oman all license the General Practice title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper, and the overlap between them is substantial. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What differs is the pass mark, the classification tier they will grade you into, and how many attempts they allow — not the medicine.

General Practice exam — frequently asked questions

What does exam code GEN5331 cover?

GEN5331 is the General Practice Prometric paper. The code appears on your eligibility approval and on the Prometric booking screen — quote it when you book, because neighbouring grades of the same profession have their own codes and their own papers.

How many questions is the General Practice exam, and how long do I get?

150 questions in 3 hours, which is about 1.2 minutes each. It is computer-based at a Prometric centre, and you can flag and revisit questions before you submit.

What is the pass mark for GEN5331?

60% under the DHA guideline — roughly 90 correct answers out of 150. Nothing is deducted for wrong answers, so leave nothing blank. Other Gulf regulators publish their own thresholds for the same content, so confirm the figure with the authority you are applying to.

Which topics carry the marks in the General Practice exam?

The published blueprint names 12 areas: Chronic Diseases, Acute and / or Common Medical Problems, Common Pediatric Problems, Women Health, Emergency Problems, Common Surgical Problems, Common Psychiatric Problems, Common Eye and ENT Problems, Common Derma Problems, Basic Epidemiology and EBM Concepts, Family Medicine Concepts and Screening and Periodic Health Examination. Our chapters use the same headings, so a weak chapter score points straight at the blueprint area to revisit.

Do I need a separate exam for each Gulf authority?

No. DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB each license the General Practice title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper built on the same content. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What changes between them is the pass mark, the classification tier and the attempt limit — so one body of preparation carries across, but each application is its own file.

What does it cost to sit GEN5331?

DHA's exam guideline prices this sitting at USD 280, which is roughly AED 1,028 at the dirham peg. That is the test fee alone: the regulator's application charge and Dataflow verification are billed separately, and other Gulf authorities set their own amounts for the same paper.

How much experience does the General Practitioner grade need?

It depends on the regulator. For the General Practitioner classification this paper belongs to: DHA asks for 2 years post-internship; MOHAP asks for 2 years post-internship; DOH asks for 2 years post-internship; SCFHS asks for 1 year post-internship; QCHP asks for 2 years post-internship; NHRA asks for 2 years post-internship; OMSB asks for 2 years post-internship. Each authority counts those years against its own classification table, and they have to be backed by experience letters that survive Dataflow verification.

What do I need before I can book GEN5331?

An eligibility approval from the regulator — your qualification and experience accepted against its classification rules — plus Dataflow primary source verification returned on your degree, licence and experience letters. The booking window opens after that, not before, which is why the paperwork should run in parallel with your revision.

Chapters were paced perfectly. 100 questions per chapter is exactly what you can knock out in one focused sitting.

Solid question bank. A couple of questions in the older chapters felt slightly outdated but the explanations were still accurate. QCHP verdict: passed.

Good bank overall. Would love more Bangla case discussions but the English explanations are clear enough. Cleared NHRA on second attempt.

The pharmacology explanations pull from Katzung and the mnemonics stuck. I recommended it to two colleagues who also passed.

Question quality is very close to the actual exam. Wish I had found this earlier - would have saved me two months of scattered PDF revision.

I was nervous about the DHA process from Nigeria. The eligibility checker on the site told me exactly which authorities I qualified for. Enrolled the same day.

The team helped me with documentation guidance beyond just the exam. Actually landed a hospital placement thanks to their talent pool.

Was worried about my English medical vocab. The explanations are written simply - non-native speakers will feel at home.
