Is this Occupational Therapist 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 492 questions.

Are these real Occupational Therapist exam questions?

They are original questions written to the official Occupational Therapist 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and drawn from our full bank - not leaked or recalled items, which would breach exam security and are frequently out of date.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 Occupational Therapist exam?

55%, for DHA exam ORA5562. 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 880.

What topics does the Occupational Therapist exam cover?

The published blueprint splits into 13 domains covering 246 testable sub-topics: Foundations of Occupational Therapy: Theory, Models & Frames of Reference, Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology & Applied Neuroscience, Conditions & Pathology Affecting Occupational Performance, Occupational Therapy Evaluation & Assessment, Analysis, Clinical Reasoning, Interpretation & Intervention Planning, Occupation-Based Intervention: ADL, IADL, Work, Play, Leisure & Social Participation, Physical Rehabilitation, Musculoskeletal & Hand Therapy, Neurological Rehabilitation & Neuro-Occupational Therapy, Mental Health & Psychosocial Occupational Therapy, Paediatric Occupational Therapy & Developmental Practice, Orthotics, Prosthetics, Assistive Technology, Seating & Environmental Modification, Geriatrics, Community Practice, Health Promotion & Population Health, Professional Practice, Patient Safety, Ethics, Infection Control & Scope of Practice. The full weighting table is on this page.

How long is the Occupational Therapist 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 Occupational Therapist licensing exam looks like

Occupational Therapists applying to practise in the UAE sit a computer-based multiple-choice examination - DHA exam code ORA5562, delivered through Prometric for DHA, MOHAP and SHA, and through Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi. The pass mark is 55%, 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 Conditions & Pathology Affecting Occupational Performance, Physical Rehabilitation, Musculoskeletal & Hand Therapy, Geriatrics, Community Practice, Health Promotion & Population Health, Paediatric Occupational Therapy & Developmental Practice 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 880 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.

A worked Occupational Therapist 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.

Conditions & Pathology Affecting Occupational Performance

On examination, a burn wound is dry and leathery, waxy white in colour, does not blanch with pressure, and is insensate to pinprick. How should this burn depth be classified?

ASuperficial (epidermal) burn
BSuperficial partial-thickness burn
CFull-thickness burnCorrect
DSunburn-type erythema with intact sensation

Why: A dry, leathery, non-blanching and insensate wound indicates destruction of the epidermis, full dermis and the nerve endings within it, which defines a full-thickness burn requiring grafting. Superficial burns are erythematous, painful and blanch, and superficial partial-thickness burns are moist, blistered and markedly painful with brisk capillary refill.

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.
