Solid question bank. A couple of questions in the older chapters felt slightly outdated but the explanations were still accurate. QCHP verdict: passed.

Good bank overall. Would love more Bangla case discussions but the English explanations are clear enough. Cleared NHRA on second attempt.

The pharmacology explanations pull from Katzung and the mnemonics stuck. I recommended it to two colleagues who also passed.

Question quality is very close to the actual exam. Wish I had found this earlier - would have saved me two months of scattered PDF revision.

I was nervous about the DHA process from Nigeria. The eligibility checker on the site told me exactly which authorities I qualified for. Enrolled the same day.
