OMSB exam registration: Pearson VUE, not Prometric
OMSB says exams are taken at the OMSB National Test Center in Muscat and at Pearson VUE centres worldwide. Registration, rescheduling and cancellation go through Pearson VUE. The OMSB user guide says to create an account on the Pearson VUE OMSB page. A confirmation email follows within 48 hours.
Pearson VUE's own OMSB page could not be opened by our tools, so check it in your browser. See the OMSB exam hub and OMSB exam for nurses for the format.
Old Prometric information for Oman
An older Prometric FAQ for OMSB lists Prometric booking, USD 175 for technicians and technologists, USD 195 for physicians, and three attempts per calendar year. The FAQ has no date and is out of date, because OMSB now uses Pearson VUE. Do not use its fees or its attempt rule.
Attempt limits, waiting times, exam language and how long a result is valid are not confirmed in any current source. We do not state them.
