This process is for B.Pharm, M.Pharm, and Pharm.D graduates from countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations (excluding Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, UK, and USA).

Your pharmacy qualification must include the foundational knowledge of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences required for registration in Australia. It should also meet one of the following criteria:

  • Be equivalent to 4 years of full-time study if completed after 1 January 2006, OR
  • Be equivalent to 3 years of full-time study if completed before 1 January 2006.

Why Self-Study Might Not Be Enough?

  • Underestimating the Difficulty:The OPRA exam can be challenging, and self-studying might lead to underestimating the amount of preparation required, leaving you feeling unprepared on exam day.
  • Lack of Detailed Explanations:Self-study materials may not provide the in-depth explanations or diverse question formats needed to tackle the tricky questions that may appear on the OPRA exam.
  • Knowledge Gaps:With so much information to cover, self-study requires great discipline to ensure comprehensive preparation. Missing key topics or lacking a strong foundation in some areas can leave you vulnerable during the OPRA exam.
  • Time Management Challenges:Without a structured study plan, effective time management becomes difficult. You may get stuck on challenging questions, risking your ability to complete the OPRA exam within the time limits.
