When and How to Check the Sheryan DHA Exam Result 2026?
DHA Exam Result Quick Summary
DHA releases your exam result only through your Sheryan account as a simple PASS or FAIL: computer-based (Prometric) results are uploaded within 2 working days and oral assessment results within 3 to 5 working days. A pass stays valid for one year from the result date. If you fail, you can reapply straight away (there is no waiting period), up to three attempts in total.
Doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals who sit the DHA (Dubai Health Authority) Prometric exam or oral assessment receive their official result from DHA, not from the test centre. This guide explains when the result appears, how to check and download it on Sheryan, what happens after a pass or a fail, and what to do if your result is delayed. For the eligibility letter (registration), its validity and the passing score in more detail, see our DHA eligibility letter and passing score guide.
How to check your DHA exam result on Sheryan?
DHA releases assessment results only through the Sheryan system. Here is how to find yours:
When will my DHA exam result come out?
According to DHA's current Manual for Professional Assessment (Oral/CBT), issued May 2025, results are released on these timelines:
| Assessment type | When the result is released | Where to see it |
|---|---|---|
| Computer-based test (CBT) at Prometric | Uploaded within 2 working days of the exam | Sheryan account |
| Oral assessment (panel interview) | Within 3 to 5 working days | Sheryan account |
| Prometric Learning Outcome letter | After the CBT | From Prometric. It shows general strengths and weaknesses, not your result |
Public holidays and weekends are not working days, so an exam taken just before a weekend or holiday may take longer to appear. See the DHA oral exam guide if your category is assessed by interview.
What does the DHA exam result show?
DHA notifies candidates of the result as PASS or FAIL with no further details. You will not receive a percentage, raw score or list of questions answered incorrectly, and test-centre staff and oral panel members are not permitted to tell you the outcome. The Learning Outcome letter you may receive from Prometric highlights broad strengths and weaknesses that are useful for revision if you need to retake. It does not tell you whether you passed.
How is the DHA result calculated?
DHA calculates CBT results from the number of correct answers and the weighting of each exam domain, then reports a PASS or FAIL. DHA does not publish a fixed pass percentage in its assessment manual, so figures such as “60%” or “70%” that circulate online should be treated as unofficial. For a fuller explanation, see our DHA eligibility letter and passing score guide and the page on DHA exam duration and total questions.
What happens when you pass the DHA exam?
When you pass, DHA records your successful registration in Sheryan (widely known as the DHA eligibility letter). DHA states that this is valid for one year from the date of the result and is not a permit to practise. A DHA-licensed health facility must hire you and activate it into a professional licence. If you do not secure a job and complete licensing within that year, check your options on Sheryan before the validity lapses. Full details on validity and the steps from eligibility to licence are in our DHA eligibility letter and passing score guide.
What if you fail the DHA exam?
A fail is not the end of the road. DHA's current rules let you try again, within limits:
Missing or cancelling an exam is not counted as a failed attempt, but exam fees are non-refundable. See our page on DHA exam total attempts and our guidance after failing the DHA GP exam.
How to reapply for DHA exam?
How to download DHA exam result?
To download your result:
- Visit the DHA website (dha.gov.ae) and open the Sheryan professional licensing services.
- Log in to your DHA Sheryan account with your existing login credentials.
- Open your application and view the assessment result or status.
- Download, print or screenshot the page and any registration document for your records.
Tips if your DHA exam result gets delayed?
CBT results should appear in Sheryan within 2 working days and oral results within 3 to 5 working days. If yours is late, don't panic. Most delays come down to one of these:
- Log in to Sheryan directly instead of waiting for an email. The dashboard is the official channel.
- Check your email spam/junk folder for Sheryan notifications.
- Confirm the exam is shown as completed and that your application has no pending document requests.
- Make sure the name on your passport matches your Sheryan profile; mismatches can hold up processing.
- For CBT result queries, DHA asks candidates to contact info@dha.gov.ae. Include your full name, Eligibility ID, exam date and passport number.
How to best prepare for DHA exam?
To prepare for the DHA exam, use the best DHA exam study material/ Qbank for your specialty. GPs can start with our DHA GP exam study material guide and the DHA GP Qbank; for exam dates see the DHA exam schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the DHA exam result take?
For the Prometric computer-based test, DHA uploads the result to your Sheryan account within 2 working days. Oral assessment results are released through Sheryan within 3 to 5 working days. Weekends and UAE public holidays are not counted.
Can I see my DHA marks or score?
No. DHA only notifies you of PASS or FAIL, with no score or question review. Prometric may send a Learning Outcome letter showing broad strengths and weaknesses, but it does not state your result.
How many times can I take the DHA exam?
You can sit the DHA assessment up to three times in total, although DHA may reduce this if a major competency gap is found. Failing the third attempt blocks you from reapplying for a DHA licence for two years, with limited exceptions such as a new recognised qualification or two years of further licensed experience.
Is there a waiting period before I can retake the DHA exam?
No. DHA sets no time restriction between attempts, so you can reapply through Sheryan and book a new Prometric date as soon as one is available. You will need to pay the assessment fee again.
Will the Prometric centre tell me my result?
No. Prometric staff and oral panel members do not release results. The official PASS or FAIL is issued only by DHA through Sheryan.
How long is a DHA pass valid?
DHA states that the result is valid for one year from the date of the result. Within that time a DHA-licensed facility must hire you and activate your licence; see our eligibility letter guide for the steps.
