KAPS vs OPRA: what changed
If you've been searching for KAPS preparation, you're in the right place — the KAPS exam has transitioned to the OPRA exam (Overseas Pharmacist Readiness Assessment). Here's what that means for your prep.
KAPS is now OPRA
The Australian Pharmacy Council's knowledge assessment for overseas-trained pharmacists, long known as KAPS (Knowledge Assessment of Pharmaceutical Sciences), has moved to the OPRA exam. If you studied 'KAPS', the same core pharmaceutical-science and therapeutics knowledge is assessed — the preparation approach is the same.

Practise scenario-based questions across the five domains, drill calculations early and often, sit full timed mocks, and review every mistake with a worked explanation. ClinicalStem covers all of this — start free.
