Pharmacist Prometric Exam

PHO5481 is the Pharmacist 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.

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.

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.

The published blueprint names 14 areas: Toxicology, Medicinal Chemistry, Sterile and Nonsterile Compounding, Pharmaceutics/Biopharmaceutics, Pharmacognosy and Dietary Supplements, Pharmacy Calculation and Compounding, Clinical pharmacogenomics, Infection Control, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Care and Disease State Management, Medication Safety, Over the Counter Medication, Pharmacy Law and Ethics and Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutic Decision Making. Our chapters use the same headings, so a weak chapter score points straight at the blueprint area to revisit.

No. DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB each license the Pharmacist 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.

DHA's exam guideline prices this sitting at USD 240, which is roughly AED 881 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.

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.
