Your DHA GP exam result comes as Pass or Fail. DHA does not show a numeric score or a subject-wise breakdown. The official DHA GP passing score is 60%, based on 150 questions over 3 hours. This page explains how to check your result, why DHA hides the exact number and what to do next based on your outcome.

How to Check Your DHA GP Exam Result
Log in to the Sheryan portal first. Use the same credentials you created for your Prometric registration. Your account will not ask for new details.
1
On Sheryan, open your exam application.
2
Go to the Exam Result section.
3
Check your status. It will read Pass or Fail.
4
Check your registered email too. Prometric result notifications often land in spam or promotions folders.
What the DHA GP Score Report Actually Shows
DHA does not give you a percentage. It does not break your result down by subject either. You will not see separate marks for Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, or OBG.
Many candidates expect a detailed DHA score report, similar to reports from other exam bodies. That report does not exist for DHA. Your Sheryan account shows one word: Pass or Fail. Nothing else appears next to it.
This surprises a lot of test-takers. Some blogs claim DHA sends a PDF with domain-wise scores. That claim is false. The only confirmed output is your pass or fail status, tied to your application ID.
Why DHA Doesn't Disclose a Numeric Score
DHA uses scaled scoring, not simple counting. There are different weights to each question, depending on the difficulty. A hard question pulls more weight than an easy one.
This method comes from psychometric analysis. It adjusts for the fact that no two exam versions are identical. One candidate might face a slightly harder question set than another. Scaled scoring keeps the standard fair across both groups.
Because of this, DHA cannot publish one clean number that applies to everyone. Your raw count of correct answers does not equal your final score. The system compares your performance against a fixed competency threshold for your profession. You clear that threshold, or you do not. That is the entire report.
DHA GP Passing Score Explained
The DHA GP passing score is 60%. This applies to the General Practitioner exam: 150 questions, 3 hours, no negative marking.
Other professions carry different thresholds. Registered nurses need 50%. Lab technicians need 55%. Your number depends entirely on your title, so do not apply another profession's cutoff to your own result.

Several exam-prep sites repeat these myths without checking the source guideline. Trust the format above instead. It matches DHA's own published CBT guidance.
Result Timeline - How Long It Takes
Most candidates see their result in Sheryan within 2 working days. That is the standard window for CBT exams.
Delays occur when exams are conducted during busy periods or during public holidays. If your result has not appeared past the normal window, check your Sheryan account first. After that contact DHA support directly, using your application reference number.
Do not assume silence means failure. Processing simply takes longer during peak periods.

What to Do After a Pass
A pass unlocks the next stage of your DHA licensing process. Follow these steps in order:
Eligibility letter. This is issued by DHA once it has been confirmed that you are a passed candidate.
DataFlow PSV. If not already done, complete Primary Source Verification form.
Get Registered application. Please submit through Sheryan with verified documents.
Facility activation. Your employer, as a DHA-licensed facility, activates your registration into a working license.
Act within your eligibility window. Most guidance points to a 12-month period from your pass date, though you should confirm the exact figure on your Sheryan account before relying on it.
What to Do If You Fail - Retake Policy
A fail does not close the door. You can reapply for the DHA exam retake through Sheryan.
DHA has not published one fixed waiting period for every title. Review your weak areas before rebooking anyway. Rushing back without a clear study plan rarely changes the outcome.
Most candidates get up to three attempts before DHA asks for extra documentation. Use each attempt with a real strategy. Study your weak subjects. Take timed mock exams. Track your accuracy across each domain before you book your next slot.
