About the exam
Qualification
- MBBS or an equivalent primary medical degree from a recognised medical school, and a completed internship. (The post-internship experience needed depends on where you trained.)

- A valid licence or registration in your home country (where it exists) and a recent Good Standing Certificate.

Frequently asked questions
About our mock testsIs the MOHAP General Practitioner Exam mock test free?
Yes. The MOHAP General Practitioner Exam mock test is completely free. Create a free account with your email or Google, then press Start mock test on this page. No payment or card is needed, and you can take it as many times as you like.
How many questions are in the mock test, and how long does it take?
The mock test has 10 multiple-choice questions and a 15-minute timer, which gives you 1½ minutes per question.
Every correct answer scores 1 mark and there is no negative marking, so it is always worth answering. You can mark questions for review and jump between them with the question palette. The test submits itself when the timer reaches zero, and if the page reloads your answers are kept on that device.
How is the mock test different from the real MOHAP exam?
The real MOHAP exam is a computer-based multiple-choice exam in English at a Prometric centre. MOHAP's evaluation service gives a minimum pass mark of 60% (results are shown as pass or fail), but MOHAP does not publish the number of questions or the time. Third-party guides quote 100–150 questions in 2–3 hours, so treat these as estimates.
Our mock test is a shorter practice set of 10 questions in 15 minutes, so you can do it in one sitting and practise answering at a steady pace.
All questions are original. We write them from standard textbooks and the published exam content; they are not leaked or recalled exam questions. A short test cannot predict your real result, so use your score to find the areas you need to revise.
Which syllabus topics do the mock questions cover?
The questions follow the MOHAP General Practitioner Exam syllabus on this page, which has seven sections:
- Internal Medicine
- Surgery
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology
- Paediatrics
- Emergency Medicine
- Psychiatry
- Family Medicine, Public Health and Ethics
MOHAP does not publish section weights for this exam, so the syllabus is a topic guide.
Every question is labelled with its syllabus section, so after each test your dashboard shows the sections you are strong in and the ones that need more work. Mock Test 1 includes questions from every section.
Can I see the correct answers and explanations, and retake the test?
Yes. As soon as you submit, you see your score and accuracy, then every question with the correct answer marked and a short explanation. You can filter the list to show only the questions you got wrong or left unanswered.
You can retake the test as often as you like. Your dashboard keeps your past scores so you can follow your progress, and if you set this as your target exam with your exam date, it shows a countdown and daily study goals.
For revision, there is also a free sample study note for this exam under Study Notes.
