KAPS exam (now the OPRA exam)
The KAPS exam (Knowledge Assessment of Pharmaceutical Sciences) has transitioned to the OPRA exam. If you're preparing for KAPS, here's what you need to know.
What changed
The Australian Pharmacy Council's knowledge assessment for overseas-trained pharmacists moved from KAPS to the OPRA exam (Overseas Pharmacist Readiness Assessment). The same core knowledge is assessed across five domains — so your preparation approach doesn't change.
How to prepare
Practise scenario-based questions across the five domains, drill calculations early, and sit full timed mocks. ClinicalStem covers all of this — start free.
