Kuwait MOH Exam FAQs

It is the computer-based licensing exam required by the Medical Licensing Department of the Kuwait Ministry of Health for many healthcare professionals. Prometric delivers it at test centres worldwide; its official blueprint document is titled “Kuwait Licensing Exam”.

Nine: General Practitioner, Internal Medicine, Registered Nurse, Ophthalmology, Critical Care, Anesthesia, Dermatology, Obstetrics & Gynecology and Lab Technician. Prometric notes that content, percentages and attempts are subject to change upon department review.

150 computer-based multiple-choice questions in 170 minutes plus a 10-minute break. The Anesthesia exam is 190 minutes plus a 10-minute break.

60% for General Practitioner, Registered Nurse and Lab Technician. For Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology, Critical Care, Anesthesia, Dermatology and Obstetrics & Gynecology: 65% at Registrar level and 70% at Senior level.

Three attempts at least six weeks apart; Ophthalmology allows two attempts.

Not exactly. 2026 news reports describe a new Kuwait Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE) and Kuwait Dental Licensing Examination (KDLE) for new graduates, run through KIMS from 1 January 2027. The current Prometric exam covers registrar and senior grades. Follow official MOH and KIMS announcements for details.

Licensing applications are handled by the MOH Medical Licensing Department through its online portal (medlic.moh.gov.kw), usually with your employer. Once you are eligible you schedule the exam with Prometric.

At Prometric test centres worldwide. Prometric does not list Kuwait-specific centres on its MOH page, so choose an available centre when you schedule.

Prometric requires a valid government-issued ID with your name in English letters, a photo and a signature. The name must match your booking exactly.

Kuwait MOH and Prometric do not publish the fee online. It is shown when you schedule with Prometric and is separate from our question bank subscription.

Kuwait MOH licenses many professions beyond the nine published blueprints, but Prometric has not published blueprints for them. Confirm your exam category with the Ministry of Health. Our pages for these specialties show a suggested study curriculum, clearly labelled as unofficial.

Some specialties appear as a section of a published exam — for example Cardiology is a 16-question section of the Internal Medicine exam and Neonatology a 3-question part of the GP exam. That is not a separate licensing exam.

No. Every question is original, written for education. We never use recalled or confidential live exam questions.
