How to pay and book
DHP processes your application first. After that you book at Prometric, using the Qatar program SCHQ2. The test centre is Al Emadi Business Center, C Ring Road, Doha.
The exam is 150 multiple choice questions, and the Registered General Nurse pass mark is 50 percent. For DHP questions, the page lists dhpregistration@moph.gov.qa.
Retakes and attempts
The current DHP page says applicants may attempt the qualifying exam an unlimited number of times. A 2018 policy said a maximum of five attempts. The page is newer, but we saw no new circular that cancels the old rule. Each attempt means paying the fee again.
