General Practice Prometric Exam

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 5,622 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, DOH in Abu Dhabi, 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. What differs is the pass mark, the classification tier they will grade you into, and how many attempts they allow — not the medicine.
