Specialist / Consultant Plastic Surgery Prometric Exam

The Specialist / Consultant Plastic Surgery Prometric exam is the computer-based licensing assessment doctors must pass before a Gulf regulator will license them under the Specialist / Consultant Plastic Surgery professional title. The DHA lists it under exam code PLA5671, and the same paper is used across the region's authorities. It is the specialist tier, so the authority expects a recognised specialty qualification and the post-qualification experience set out in its classification rules before it will let you book.

The sitting is 150 multiple-choice questions in 3 hours — about 1.2 minutes per question — and the pass mark is 65%. There is no negative marking and no penalty for a guess, so pacing matters more than caution: candidates lose marks to unanswered questions at the end of the paper far more often than to wrong ones.

The published blueprint for PLA5671 weights the paper across 10 areas — wound repair and integument, anesthesia, critical care, transplant and immunology, burn, head, neck and craniomaxillofacial, upper extremity, lower extremity, genitourinary system and trunk, breast disease, patient safety and professionalism and ethics. Those headings are where your revision time should go, and the guideline names 6 reference texts the questions are written from. Our chapters follow the same split, so a weak score in one chapter maps directly onto a blueprint area you can go back and fix.

This bank holds 1,396 explained MCQs written to that blueprint, with a full written explanation on every question — including the reasoning that rules the other options out. Retries are unlimited, and the timed mocks run at the real 150-question, 3-hour, 65%-to-pass settings so exam day is not the first time you sit the paper at that pace.

One paper, seven regulators: whether you are booking the Specialist / Consultant Plastic Surgery exam through DHA in Dubai, MOHAP or DOH elsewhere in the UAE, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, NHRA in Bahrain or OMSB in Oman, the syllabus overlap is substantial and the same preparation carries across. Where the authorities differ is the pass mark, the eligibility tier and the number of attempts they allow — not the content of the paper.
