After failing two units in March, she changed her preparation strategy, focused on Patient Care and Therapeutics, practised mock tests and cleared the July 2026 OPRA examination with renewed confidence.<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Did_Khushi_Makwana_Begin_Her_OPRA_Journey\"><\/span>How Did Khushi Makwana Begin Her OPRA Journey?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Congratulations to Khushi Makwana on successfully clearing her July 2026 OPRA examination!<\/p>\r\n<p>Khushi's journey is particularly inspiring because her successful result came after a difficult first attempt.<\/p>\r\n<p>She moved from India to Melbourne in 2023 to pursue a Master of Public Health. After completing her postgraduate studies, she decided to restart her pharmacy career and began preparing for the OPRA examination.<\/p>\r\n<p>A friend who had taken the KAPS examination in 2024 introduced her to Elite Expertise. Khushi joined the Elite Expertise OPRA preparation course in December for the March intake.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her journey, however, did not go exactly as planned.<\/p>\r\n<p>She appeared for the OPRA examination in March and did not pass two units. The result left her feeling disappointed and unmotivated.<\/p>\r\n<p>Instead of allowing that result to end her journey, Khushi decided to prepare again.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her July result now marks an important achievement in her journey toward becoming a registered pharmacist in Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"ee-video\">\r\n  <div class=\"ee-video-wrap\">\r\n    <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CFhrxWh2t6Y\" title=\"Khushi Makwana OPRA Success Interview - Elite Expertise\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <p class=\"ee-video-cap\">Watch Khushi's full OPRA success interview<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Made_Khushis_First_OPRA_Attempt_Challenging\"><\/span>What Made Khushi's First OPRA Attempt Challenging?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>For Khushi, one of the biggest difficulties was managing her full time job alongside OPRA preparation.<\/p>\r\n<p>She was also living independently in Melbourne, away from her family. Managing work, personal responsibilities and exam preparation at the same time made it difficult to give her studies the attention they needed.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her first attempt also taught her an important lesson about preparation.<\/p>\r\n<p>Khushi explained that she focused heavily on theory during her first attempt and did not complete enough mock tests. By the end of her preparation, she felt that she had forgotten a significant amount of what she had studied.<\/p>\r\n<p>The result helped her identify what needed to change.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her workplace supported her during her second preparation period and even provided annual leave, giving her more time to concentrate on the examination.<\/p>\r\n<p>With support from her family, friends, colleagues and Elite Expertise, Khushi returned to her preparation with a different approach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Did_Khushi_Prepare_Differently_for_Her_Second_OPRA_Attempt\"><\/span>How Did Khushi Prepare Differently for Her Second OPRA Attempt?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Khushi's second preparation focused on understanding, revision and practice rather than relying on theory alone.<\/p>\r\n<p>After reviewing her first result, she recognised that Patient Care and Therapeutics required more attention. She therefore spent more time studying these areas and practising related MCQs and mock tests.<\/p>\r\n<p>This change became an important part of her preparation.<\/p>\r\n<p>She also emphasised the importance of discipline and completing lectures.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her advice is practical. Attend the lectures, understand the concepts, make notes where necessary and complete mock tests.<\/p>\r\n<p>Elite Expertise also provides handouts, which Khushi found useful when making detailed notes during lectures was difficult.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her experience shows why candidates should use their first attempt as feedback if they need to sit the examination again.<\/p>\r\n<p>Instead of repeating exactly what she had done before, Khushi identified her weaker areas and adjusted her preparation accordingly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_OPRA_Topics_Did_Khushi_Find_Most_Difficult\"><\/span>Which OPRA Topics Did Khushi Find Most Difficult?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Khushi particularly enjoyed pharmacology, but she found it challenging to remember the large amount of information involved.<\/p>\r\n<p>Pharmacology requires candidates to understand diseases, medicines, mechanisms of action and adverse effects. Remembering all these details together can become difficult during intensive exam preparation.<\/p>\r\n<p>She also found some pharmacology questions tricky during the examination.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her experience led her to an important conclusion: strong basic pharmacology matters.<\/p>\r\n<p>According to Khushi, you cannot realistically memorise every mechanism of action and every detail. However, when your fundamentals are clear, you can reason through concepts that may not look familiar at first.<\/p>\r\n<p>That became one of her biggest lessons from the OPRA journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"ee-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eliteexpertise.com\/opra-exam-preparation-course\/\">Join the Next OPRA Batch \u2192<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Did_Elite_Expertise_Support_Khushis_OPRA_Preparation\"><\/span>How Did Elite Expertise Support Khushi's OPRA Preparation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Khushi had positive feedback about both Harika Ma'am and Arief Sir.<\/p>\r\n<p>She remembers her first class with Harika Ma'am as particularly memorable. She appreciated how Harika connected her professional experiences with pharmacology concepts, which helped make difficult topics easier to understand.<\/p>\r\n<p>She also appreciated Arief Sir's teaching style, particularly his detailed explanations and discipline.<\/p>\r\n<p>For Khushi, the course structure provided several useful components:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Regular lectures<\/li>\r\n<li>Handouts<\/li>\r\n<li>MCQ practice<\/li>\r\n<li>Mock tests<\/li>\r\n<li>Revision<\/li>\r\n<li>Structured preparation<\/li>\r\n<li>Guidance from experienced trainers<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>She specifically identified discipline and mock tests as important parts of her successful second attempt.<\/p>\r\n<p>Elite Expertise's Australia <a href=\"https:\/\/eliteexpertise.com\/opra-exam-preparation-course\/\">OPRA exam<\/a> course is listed as a 3.5 month programme with 300 plus hours of live and recorded lectures, 150 lessons and more than 3,000 practice questions. The programme also includes live sessions, recorded classes, assignments, clinical scenarios and mock examinations, according to the course information provided by Elite Expertise.<\/p>\r\n<p>The course is designed for international pharmacy graduates preparing for the OPRA examination and includes topics such as basic pharmacology, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular conditions, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug interactions, CNS, infectious diseases, oncology, gastrointestinal conditions and endocrinology.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Was_Khushis_OPRA_Exam_Day_Experience_Like\"><\/span>What Was Khushi's OPRA Exam Day Experience Like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Exam anxiety was another major part of Khushi's story.<\/p>\r\n<p>After her first unsuccessful result, she was worried about experiencing the same outcome again. She even had difficulty sleeping before her July examination.<\/p>\r\n<p>She spoke with Glory from the Elite Expertise team about her concerns and anxiety. The support and encouragement helped her manage those feelings.<\/p>\r\n<p>On exam day, Khushi decided to trust the preparation she had completed.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her experience shows that exam confidence does not necessarily mean having zero anxiety. You can feel nervous and still perform well when you have prepared properly.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Australian Pharmacy Council states that the OPRA examination is a computer based, closed book examination containing 120 multiple choice questions, with 150 minutes available to complete the exam. OPRA assesses the biomedical, pharmaceutical and clinical sciences underlying pharmacy practice in Australia.<\/p>\r\n<p>OPRA is part of the Knowledge Stream pathway for eligible overseas qualified pharmacists seeking registration in Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Did_Khushi_Feel_After_Clearing_Her_July_OPRA_Result\"><\/span>What Did Khushi Feel After Clearing Her July OPRA Result?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>After months of preparation, Khushi finally received the result she had been hoping for.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her reaction was simple:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ee-quote\">\"Finally. Finally, it's done.\"<\/div>\r\n<p>For her, passing the examination represented the completion of one major stage in a much longer professional journey.<\/p>\r\n<p>She also described a major change in her confidence.<\/p>\r\n<p>Only a few months earlier, she had been struggling emotionally after her first result. After receiving her successful July result, she felt completely different.<\/p>\r\n<p>She said that the confidence was new.<\/p>\r\n<p>That makes Khushi's achievement worth celebrating. Congratulations once again, Khushi, on clearing your July OPRA examination!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Advice_Does_Khushi_Give_to_Future_OPRA_Candidates\"><\/span>What Advice Does Khushi Give to Future OPRA Candidates?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Khushi's advice comes directly from her own experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>1. Do not be too hard on yourself<\/h3>\r\n<p>After her first attempt, Khushi blamed herself heavily. During her second preparation, she learned to recognise when she needed a break.<\/p>\r\n<p>She explained that studying for 10 to 15 hours every day is not always necessary. If your mind is tired, taking a break can help you return to your preparation with better concentration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>2. Focus on important areas<\/h3>\r\n<p>You cannot give equal attention to every topic at every stage of preparation.<\/p>\r\n<p>Khushi recommends identifying important areas and concentrating on them.<\/p>\r\n<p>Her own experience showed her that Patient Care and Therapeutics needed more attention, so she increased her practice in those areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>3. Complete mock tests<\/h3>\r\n<p>This was one of the clearest lessons from her first attempt.<\/p>\r\n<p>Khushi did not complete enough mock tests before her first examination. During her second attempt, she made mock practice a bigger part of her preparation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>4. Build strong basics<\/h3>\r\n<p>Khushi strongly recommends understanding basic pharmacology.<\/p>\r\n<p>A strong foundation can help you approach unfamiliar questions more confidently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>5. Keep hope alive<\/h3>\r\n<p>Perhaps the most personal part of Khushi's advice is to keep going even when your confidence drops.<\/p>\r\n<p>After her first attempt, she questioned whether she was good enough.
