Is this Family Medicine mock exam really free?

Yes. All 25 questions, your score, the domain breakdown and the full worked answers are free, with no sign-up and no email required. The paid bank is a separate, much larger set of 460 questions.

Are these real Family Medicine exam questions?

They are original questions written to the official Family Medicine blueprint and drawn from our full bank - not leaked or recalled items, which would breach exam security and are frequently out of date. They match the real exam's format, difficulty and domain weighting.

What is the pass mark for the Family Medicine exam?

60%, for DHA exam FAM5871. The authority reports only pass or fail - your actual score is never released to you, which is why a diagnostic like this is the only way to see where you stand.

Does passing this mock mean I will pass the real exam?

No, and we will not claim otherwise. 25 questions cannot predict a full-length paper. What it does reliably show is which blueprint domains you are currently weakest in.

How many attempts do I get at the real exam?

Three in total across all UAE authorities under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements - not three per authority. Each attempt costs roughly AED 1,030.

What topics does the Family Medicine exam cover?

The published blueprint splits into 13 domains covering 230 testable sub-topics: Principles of Family Medicine, Consultation Skills and Practice Management, Preventive Medicine, Screening, Health Promotion and Community Health, Cardiovascular Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, Respiratory Medicine and Otolaryngology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Musculoskeletal Medicine, Rheumatology, Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Women's Health, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Child and Adolescent Health, Mental Health and Behavioural Medicine, Dermatology, Acute and Emergency Care, Minor Surgery and Procedural Skills, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Renal-Urology, Haematology, Geriatrics and Palliative Care. The full weighting table is on this page.

How long is the Family Medicine exam and how many questions?

~150. Duration: 3 hours. Question count, duration and pass mark vary by authority and must be confirmed against the current candidate bulletin.

Do I need to create an account to take this mock exam?

No. There is no sign-up, no email capture and no payment. The questions, your score, the domain breakdown and the full worked answers are all free, and nothing is held back behind a form.

A short diagnostic cannot predict whether you will pass - only the real exam does that. It will show you, honestly, where you currently stand.

What the real Family Medicine licensing exam looks like

Family Medicines applying to practise in the UAE sit a computer-based multiple-choice examination - DHA exam code FAM5871, delivered through Prometric for DHA, MOHAP and SHA, and through Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi. The pass mark is 60%, and the result is reported to you as pass or fail only - your score is never released.

The paper is built to a published blueprint, which is why a domain-by-domain diagnostic is more useful than a raw percentage. Your questions above were drawn one per domain across Respiratory Medicine and Otolaryngology, Acute and Emergency Care, Minor Surgery and Procedural Skills, Dermatology, Mental Health and Behavioural Medicine and 9 more - the same areas the real paper weights.

Before you can book the exam at all you need Dataflow primary source verification of your degree, licence and experience, which typically runs several weeks. Candidates routinely underestimate this and end up sitting the exam sooner after study than they planned. Check where you stand with our free eligibility checker or confirm whether your title even requires an exam using the Prometric exam checker.

You get three attempts in total across all UAE authorities - not three each - under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements. At roughly AED 1,030 per attempt, plus the licensing delay each failure adds to your visa and start date, the cost of going in underprepared is not really the exam fee.

What is on the Family Medicine exam: the full blueprint

Questions: ~150
Duration: 3 hours
Pass mark: 60%

DHA Specialist Family Medicine (VERIFIED, code FAM5871): 150 MCQs, 3 hours, pass 60%, fee USD 280. DHA Consultant Family Medicine (VERIFIED, code FAM5742): 100 MCQs, 3 hours, pass 70%, fee USD 280 - note the consultant paper is SHORTER but has a HIGHER cut score. DHA duration is inclusive of registration and process introduction, not just exam content; result is reported only as Pass/Fail and the score is not released. All DHA papers are single-best-answer MCQ, typically 4 options. MOHAP/DOH via the unified Prometric pathway: commonly 150 MCQs / 3 hours / 60%. QCHP: all Prometric qualifying exams are 2 hours, MCQ, pass mark varies by specialty (commonly 60%, some 65%). OMSB: Pearson VUE MCQ, reported 70 questions/2 hrs or 100 questions/2.5 hrs depending on scope, with a viva threshold around 65% (unverified). NHRA: NSE format is at authority discretion - electronic, written, short cases or interviews. SCFHS: Prometric MCQ, commonly cited as 150 questions with a 60% pass; the 300-question two-section Family Medicine format quoted by prep vendors is unverified. Three attempts is the standard DHA/UAE cap (a fourth may be permitted on declaration of no failure with another UAE authority, but NOT for Tier 3 applicants upgrading to consultant); NHRA allows four attempts within three years. DHA exam validity and exemption follow the Unified PQR; exemptions lapse after a 3-year gap in practice.

A worked Family Medicine exam question

Every question in the diagnostic and in the paid bank is written to this standard: a clinical stem, four plausible options and the reasoning for the answer, with its source.

Respiratory Medicine and Otolaryngology

A 55-year-old non-smoking woman with hypertension has an 8-week dry cough. She takes enalapril, amlodipine and atorvastatin. Examination, chest radiograph and spirometry are normal. What is the most appropriate next step?

AStart a proton pump inhibitor for presumed reflux cough
BStop enalapril and substitute an angiotensin receptor blocker, then reassessCorrect
CArrange urgent CT of the chest
DPrescribe a 7-day course of codeine linctus

Why: ACE inhibitor cough is a common, dose-independent, bradykinin-mediated adverse effect that can begin weeks to months after starting therapy; withdrawal with substitution of an angiotensin receptor blocker is both diagnostic and therapeutic, although resolution may take up to 4 weeks. Empirical acid suppression should not precede removal of an obvious drug cause. With a normal chest radiograph, no red flags and no smoking history, urgent CT is not indicated, and antitussives merely mask the cause.

How to use this diagnostic properly

1Sit it cold, once. Do not look anything up. A diagnostic you help yourself through tells you nothing. The number you get is only useful if it is honest.
2Read every rationale - especially the ones you got right. Getting a question right by elimination is not the same as knowing it. The worked reasoning is free above, whether or not you buy anything.
3Work weakest domain first. The breakdown orders your domains worst-first for exactly this reason. Studying what you are already good at feels productive and moves nothing.
4Re-sit under full exam conditions later. The real paper is far longer than this and stamina matters. Full-length timed papers are what the paid bank is for.
