How to check your DHA exam result
Log in to the same Sheryan account you used to get your DHA Unique ID and your Eligibility ID. The result is uploaded there. DHA's guideline and manual describe the result as Pass or Fail in Sheryan, so keep checking there.
If the result does not show after 2 working days, contact DHA through Sheryan. We cannot see your account or your result.
Does the DHA exam show a percentage
No. DHA's guideline says Sheryan shows only Pass or Fail. The manual says the result is based on the number of correct answers and the weighting of each domain. DHA does not publish the domain weights.
For a Registered Nurse the pass mark is 50 percent of the 150 questions. That is the cut-off, not a number you will be told. Some websites say they can show your DHA percentage. They cannot, because DHA does not release it. Read more on the Prometric exam result page.
DHA exam result validity
A pass gives you a Registration Certificate. It is valid for one year from the result date. It is not a licence. A licensed facility must activate it, so plan your job offer and your timing together.
DHA can change the exam format or pass score without notice, so check DHA's own guideline before you book. See also DHA exam fees and DHA exam eligibility.
If the result is Fail: attempts
- You have three attempts, counted across all UAE health authorities.
- DHA sets no waiting period between attempts. It depends on slot availability.
- Cancelling or not attending is not counted as a failed attempt.
- After three failures you are blocked from reapplying to DHA for two years.
- DHA allows one final attempt with a different authority, or a fourth with DHA if you have no UAE failures declared elsewhere.
- You can get a new set of three attempts after another recognised qualification, or after 2 years of licensed clinical experience since your last attempt.
One DHA licensing manual (version 1.3) says an applicant may apply for two additional attempts. This is different from the three-in-total rule, and we did not read its context. Check the current wording with DHA before you rely on either.
Before you book again, take the free 20-question check and review your weak areas. Then use the DHA mock test for nurses to practise the timing.
