Frequently asked questions

Eight exams are live: the SMLE and SNLE in Saudi Arabia, the DHA exam in Dubai, the DOH exam in Abu Dhabi, the QCHP exam in Qatar, the MOHAP exam for the UAE's northern emirates, the KMLE in Kuwait, and the NHRA exam in Bahrain. You choose which one you are sitting and the whole app follows it. The Arab Board is planned next.

They license different parts of the UAE: DHA for Dubai, DOH for Abu Dhabi, and MOHAP for the northern emirates plus federal and private facilities outside Dubai's and Abu Dhabi's direct remit. Each runs its own exam, and a pass on one does not carry over to the others. See the full DHA vs DOH vs MOHAP comparison for what each publishes and what neither DOH nor MOHAP does.

Yes. The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, the SCFHS, sets both: the SMLE for doctors and the SNLE for nurses. They are separate exams with separate blueprints and separate pass scores, but the same body writes and administers each one.

Four: the SMLE (560 on a 200 to 800 scale), the DHA exam (60%), the QCHP exam (a published range of 50 to 65%), and the SNLE (500 on a 200 to 800 scaled score). The DOH, MOHAP, KMLE and NHRA exams do not publish a pass mark; candidate reports for those four commonly cluster around 60 to 65%.

Yes, and it's the most distinctive feature of the KMLE among the eight exams PassCurve covers: it can be sat at any authorised Prometric centre worldwide, not just inside Kuwait. Many candidates clear it before they ever relocate. A pass is commonly described as valid for one year, so time your booking accordingly.

Two things drive it. Every session is built to the exam's blueprint, or its described domains where no blueprint is published, so the mix of subjects matches the paper rather than your comfort zone. A per subject rating also moves as you answer, tilting the session toward whichever subject is currently costing you marks.

It joins your review deck and comes back on a spacing curve, timed so you meet it again shortly before you would have forgotten it. Reviews are free forever, on every plan, and they don't count against the free tier's daily new-question cap.

New questions are capped at 5 a day on the free tier. There is no limit at all on reviews: the review deck, streaks and daily quests are free forever, on every plan, and paid plans remove the daily cap on new questions.

No. PassCurve runs in the browser on any phone or computer, and an Android app is also available. Your progress follows your account either way, so you can answer questions on a ward computer and pick up your review deck on your phone later.

No, and that's deliberate. Every exam PassCurve covers is sat in English, so questions stay English only: you revise in the exact language you will be examined in. Some guide content exists in Arabic too, because Gulf candidates search in Arabic even when they revise in English, but the product itself is English throughout.

Yes, in a real sense, not just a trial. You get 5 new questions a day free, and the review deck, streaks and daily quests are free forever, with no card required. Paid plans exist to remove the daily cap and add 28 day accuracy trends.

Three plans remove the daily cap: SAR 129 for one month, SAR 279 for three months, or SAR 449 for six months, each also priced in AED and USD. Every price shown at checkout is the price you pay: no launch discount that quietly expires later.

Yes, any time, from Settings on the web, through the Stripe billing portal, or through Google Play if you subscribed on Android. Your access continues to the end of the period you already paid for; nothing is cut off immediately, and nothing you paid for is lost.

No. The price you are shown at checkout is the price you pay for that billing period, and Stripe or Google Play will not quietly raise it on you mid-period. If you switch plans later, PassCurve prorates the difference rather than charging you twice.

No, and PassCurve does not claim otherwise. Questions and explanations are written and fact-checked with AI assistance; they are not individually signed off by a physician. What is checked, every time, is that the answer is traceable to a named clinical guideline or reference, with the date it was last read.

Every published question carries the guideline it rests on and the date that guideline was last read. When the underlying guidance changes, the question is queued for another read and its explanation is updated to match, so a checked date reflects the last review, not just the date the question was written.

No. PassCurve is independent of the SCFHS, the DHA, the DOH, Qatar's DHP/QCHP, the UAE's MOHAP, Bahrain's NHRA, Kuwait's Ministry of Health, Prometric and Pearson VUE. It is not endorsed, accredited or reviewed by any of them; PassCurve simply prepares candidates for exams those bodies set and mark.

Use the in-product report button, the fastest route to a fix. A reported question is reviewed directly against its source, and if the guideline has moved or the check missed something, the question and its explanation are corrected. Despite the checks, PassCurve cannot guarantee content is error free.
