OPRA exam format

Knowing exactly what exam day looks like removes a lot of anxiety. Here's the OPRA format and how to rehearse it.

What to expect

  • Multiple-choice, scenario-based questions across the five domains
  • Blueprint-weighted toward the larger domains (therapeutics especially)
  • A pass mark in the region of 70%
  • Calculation questions woven throughout — bring a reliable method

Rehearse the real thing

A full 120-question, 150-minute timed mock trains the pacing and stamina the exam demands — practise under those conditions before exam day, not just untimed questions.
