About the Specialist Internal Medicine Prometric Exam (INT5921)

INT5921 is the DHA code for the Specialist Internal Medicine Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 12 areas: cardiovascular, pulmonary diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, infectious diseases, nephrology, rheumatology, endocrinology, neuroscience, hematology, oncology, emergency medicine and patient safety. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 6 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 Specialist Internal Medicine professional title. Specialist is a graded title: the regulator checks your specialty certificate and post-qualification years against its classification table, and a mismatch there is refused on classification rather than on the paper. 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 2,250 explained questions cut to the same headings as the INT5921 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 Specialist Internal Medicine 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.

Specialist Internal Medicine exam — frequently asked questions

What does exam code INT5921 cover?

INT5921 is the Specialist Internal Medicine 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 Specialist Internal Medicine 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 INT5921?

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 Specialist Internal Medicine exam?

The published blueprint names 12 areas: Cardiovascular, Pulmonary Diseases, Gastrointestinal Diseases, Infectious Diseases, Nephrology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Hematology, Oncology, Emergency Medicine and Patient Safety. 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, DOH, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB each license the Specialist Internal Medicine title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper built on the same content. 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 do I need before I can book INT5921?

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.

Loved the interface - clean, fast, no ads. The retry mode where you only see the ones you got wrong is a lifesaver in the last week before the exam.

The tier-based eligibility explainer was gold. Saved me from applying to the wrong authority. Consultant title granted by DOH Abu Dhabi.

Very well organized. The pass score prediction after finishing chapters kept me honest - I re-attempted the ones under 70% until I was above 85% consistently.

The 6-month access was exactly what I needed. Started slow, ramped up in the last month. Consultant title recognized in Abu Dhabi - offer letter in hand.

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.
