MOHAP pharmacist exam (UAE): what is official and how to practise

MOHAP does not publish the format of its pharmacist exam that we could find. This page states what is confirmed and what is not, then shows how MediHelp practice works and what it costs.

Short answer

MOHAP licenses pharmacists at the UAE federal level, and the pharmacist exam is delivered by Prometric. We could not find MOHAP publishing the exam format, so MediHelp does not quote a question count or pass mark. Attempts are limited across all UAE authorities combined.

Official exam facts

Taken from our licence guide, checked against the official sources listed below. Where an official figure could not be confirmed, the page says so instead of guessing.

The MOHAP exam

The pharmacist exam format is not published by MOHAP that we could find. Prometric delivers it and, according to a search summary of its MOHAP page, shows the booking rules there.

A vendor blog from 2023 gives a pass mark of 60% and a Prometric fee of USD 130. A consultancy says vendors quote 50% to 70% and that MOHAP publishes none. Treat both as unconfirmed.
Attempts: DHA's licensing manual counts 3 failed attempts across all UAE authorities and allows a fourth only with permission (clauses 5.26 and 7.3). The unified PQR (3rd version, April 2025, clauses 1.5.4 to 1.5.6) sets the same shared limit across DHA, DOH, MOHAP and SHA, with one last attempt in another authority. Prometric's page limits scheduling attempts to 3 (search summary).
A consultancy says MOHAP does not accept other authorities' exam results, but MOHAP's evaluation page (search summary) mentions sitting the exam through DHA or DOH and an Instant Transfer service for a valid license from another authority. Ask MOHAP before you rely on a DHA or DOH pass or license.
An eligibility number is reported to be valid for about 15 days (consultancy, unconfirmed): book promptly.

How MediHelp exam prep works

Practise by topic, difficulty or weak spots. Choose a module, a difficulty or let the app pick the topics you get wrong most.
Sit timed mock exams. Timed mocks of 25 to 150 questions, so the pace feels familiar before the real exam.
Learn from every explanation. Each question explains why the right option is right and why the others are wrong, with public references you can open.
Review what you forget. A spaced-repetition review queue brings back the questions you missed or flagged.
Track progress, study offline. See topic mastery and results. Modules you bought also work offline.

What the question bank covers

Eight topic modules built on the DHA content areas, the only published UAE pharmacist outline. MOHAP publishes none of its own, and the UAE authorities share licensing rules. The page does not claim a MOHAP blueprint.
Single-best-answer questions in the style of the UAE pharmacist exams, with timed mocks.
Explanations and public references on every question.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MOHAP pharmacist exam format?

MOHAP does not publish it on any page we could read. Vendor blogs quote pass marks between 50% and 70%, which are unconfirmed. Ask MOHAP or check the Prometric page for current details.

How many attempts do I get?

The unified Professional Qualification Requirements (3rd version, April 2025) set a shared limit of three attempts across DHA, DOH, MOHAP and SHA, with one last attempt at another authority. The DHA licensing manual states the same shared count.

Can I use a DHA or DOH result for MOHAP?

MOHAP's evaluation page mentions sitting the exam through DHA or DOH and a transfer service for a valid licence from another authority. A consultancy says otherwise, so ask MOHAP before you rely on either.

Is the MOHAP bank different from the DHA bank?

Yes. MediHelp has a separate bank for each Gulf authority. Some UAE topics overlap, because the authorities share licensing rules.

Are these real exam questions?

No. All MediHelp questions are original practice questions written to match the published blueprint and style. We never use leaked or recalled exam content.

Can I try it before I buy?

Yes. Every exam bank has free sample questions with answers and explanations.

Is it a subscription?

No. A question bank is a one-time purchase with nothing to renew. Gulf banks are not part of plain Pro+; they are sold as a bank, or inside the Pro+ yearly bundles.
