What is the OPRA Exam?

The OPRA™ Exam (Overseas Pharmacist Readiness Assessment) is a computer-based assessment consisting entirely of multiple-choice questions. It is designed to evaluate the knowledge and understanding of internationally trained pharmacists in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences. Replacing the KAPS exam after its final session in November 2024, the OPRA Exam serves as a critical step for those seeking provisional registration as a pharmacist in Australia, ensuring candidates meet Australian competency standards.

OPRA Exam Eligibility Criteria

OPRA Exam Eligibility

The Australian Pharmacy Council ensures that talented and skilled global pharmacists are able to register and practice in Australia without facing major difficulties. Therefore, they ensure that the OPRA exam eligibility is not too difficult to achieve. To be eligible to write the Exam, a pharmacist must have the following:

Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) or Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), including mark sheets and degree certificates
Active registration with the state pharmacy council in your home country as a practicing pharmacist.

Global pharmacists can thus take the OPRA exam right after completing their B.Pharm or any other bachelors level degree in Pharmacy from any country. Absolutely no experience is required to be eligible for the exam.

OPRA Exam Required Documents

Procedure for OPRA Exam

Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Registered Pharmacist in Australia

Initial Skill Assessment by the Australian Pharmacy Council: The first step is to determine if you are eligible to appear for the Overseas Pharmacist Readiness Assessment Exam. The Australian Pharmacy Council will review your records and confirm your eligibility. Once you pass this initial assessment, you will be eligible to take the exam.
The OPRA Exam: The Overseas Pharmacist Readiness Assessment (OPRA) Exam is an online, computer-based exam that you can take at a test center of your choice in your home country. The exam is conducted three times a year in March, July, and November (OPRA Exam Dates for Overseas Pharmacists). It consists of 120 multiple-choice questions, to be completed within 2.5 hours, and is in a single-paper format. Note that there is no negative marking.
English Proficiency: The Pharmacy Board of Australia recognizes various language assessment methods, including IELTS and OET. To meet their language proficiency requirements, you should achieve a minimum score of 7.5 on the academic version of IELTS, with no less than 7 in each section. Alternatively, for the Occupational English Test (OET), a minimum overall score of 6.5, or 7 in each individual component, is required.
Internship and Provisional Registration: After completing the OPRA and English exams, you will be granted provisional registration by the Pharmacy Board of Australia. With this, you can begin a paid pharmacy internship in Australia. You will need to search for jobs and internships that offer visa sponsorships, allowing you to move to Australia with a work visa and start earning.
Intern Oral and Written Exam: After completing your 1,575 hours of internship (or at least 75% of it), you can take the Australian Intern Written and Oral Examination. Passing this exam will demonstrate to the Australian Pharmacy Council and the Pharmacy Board of Australia that you are now eligible to work as an independent pharmacist in Australia.
Complete Registration: The final step is to complete your registration with the Pharmacy Board of Australia, after which you can either continue working with the same employer you did your internship with or find a new job. This registration means you are now eligible to work independently in Australia.

OPRA Exam Format

Frequently Asked Questions

The OPRA or the Overseas Pharmacist Readiness Assessment is the licensure exam for overseas-trained pharmacists who want to work in Australia. It has replaced the KAPS exam which the Australian Pharmacy Council earlier conducted to test the knowledge and competence of global pharmacists.

Anyone who is an internationally qualified pharmacist with a pharmacy degree equal to Australian standards is eligible to take the OPRA exam. You can take the OPRA exam immediately after completing your B.Pharm or other Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy at an institute recognised by the WDoMS. You also need to be registered in your home country or with the state pharmacy council of the place where you are working. Moreover, no experience is required to be eligible for this exam.

The OPRA exam is an international test, which is a comprehensive assessment of your pharmacy knowledge. Therefore, it is moderately challenging, especially due to the use of Rasch methodology and the absence of a fixed passing score. However, with the right guidance and preparation material, you can crack it easily, just like hundreds of pharmacists have done with Academically.

The OPRA exam is a computer-based test that consists of multiple-choice and scenario-based questions. It is evaluated using the Rasch method of scoring, which ensures a fair outcome for all the students. There is no fixed mark as a passing criterion.

Rasch methodology is the testing method used to derive results from the OPRA exam. It is a psychometric approach known for ensuring consistent difficulty and fairness in exam scoring. The Rasch method assesses the difficulty of the question and the candidate's ability to ensure that a proper outcome regarding the candidate’s competence is obtained.

The OPRA exam costs AUD 2,190, which is less than the fee of the KAPS exam. When converted into Indian currency, this amounts to approximately INR 1.25 Lakh, depending on the exchange rate. However, the OPRA process covers some additional costs such as the fee for the initial skills assessment, English proficiency test, etc.

Anyone who has completed their Bachelor's or higher degree in Pharmacy can take the OPRA exam. To register for OPRA, you need to begin with the initial skills assessment with the Australian Pharmacy Council. Once they consider you eligible for the exam, you can choose the date and time for your exam and prepare accordingly.

Once you have completed the skills assessment by the Australian Pharmacy Council, you are eligible to take the OPRA examination. You do not need to take it repeatedly, no matter how many OPRA attempts you take. Once completed, the skills assessment result is valid for a lifetime.

If you are eligible for other pathways offered by the Australian Pharmacy Council, such as the Competent Authority Pathway or the Trans Tasman Pathway, and have not completed your higher pharmacy studies in Australia, you need to take the OPRA exam to register as a pharmacist in Australia.

OPRA is now the new testing standard drawn out by the APC. So, if you have only passed KAPS Part 1, you will need to take the OPRA exam unless the Australian Pharmacy Council has granted you a direct equivalence based on your KAPS Part 1 results.

The OPRA exam covers core pharmacy subjects such as Biomedical sciences, Medicinal chemistry and biopharmaceutics, Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, Pharmacology and toxicology and Therapeutics and patient care. The shift to OPRA from KAPS has led to a greater focus on therapeutics and the practical application of knowledge.

OPRA stands for Overseas Pharmacists Readiness Assessment. It is the assessment conducted by the Australian Pharmacy Council to offer registration to overseas-trained pharmacists who aspire to work in Australia.

Since the OPRA exam is a newly launched exam with only one attempt conducted as of now, identifying the pass rate would be difficult. However, at Academically, our first-ever OPRA batch has achieved a success rate of around 87% in the very first OPRA attempt.

There is no limit on the number of attempts you can take for the OPRA examination Australia. Moreover, you do not need to complete the initial skills assessment every time you decide to attempt the OPRA exam.

Once cleared, the OPRA exam result is valid for three years. Within this time frame, pharmacists need to complete their internship, complete registration with the Pharmacy Board of Australia and get their work visa and a full-time job in Australia.

After clearing the OPRA exam, you get a provision registration from the Australian Pharmacy Council. Now, you need to find an internship/job with sponsorship, complete 1,575 hours of supervised training and then get complete registration from the Pharmacy Board of Australia.

You can become a pharmacist in Australia after completing your pharmacy degree in India with the help of the OPRA examination. You can take the OPRA exam from your nearest testing centre in India and crack it to become a registered pharmacist in Australia, with no prior experience required.

In the field of pharmacy, the OPRA exam is an international exam known as the Overseas Pharmacists Readiness Assessment. The Australian Pharmacy Council conducts this exam to test the competence of and offer registration to global pharmacists in Australia.

To become a registered pharmacist in Australia, you must hold a recognised pharmacy degree along with pharmacy registration in your home country or with the state pharmacy council of the place where you are working.

The OPRA exam is a single-paper exam conducted over a single day. It is conducted in one session of 2.5 hours, without any breaks. There are 120 multiple-choice questions in the exam.

Pharmacists in Australia can earn anywhere between AUD 70,000 to AUD 95,000 annually. This can change based on location and experience. Senior roles or roles in regional areas often offer better salaries. When converted to INR, these salaries range from 50 LPA to 80 LPA.

The OPRA exam is simpler than KAPS as it is a single exam conducted in one session, unlike KAPS, which consists of two papers. However, when it comes to testing and scoring, OPRA is a bit more complex as it tests using Rasch methodology, unlike KAPS, which had no negative marking and a 50% passing requirement.

The OPRA exam costs AUD 2190, which in Indian rupees is around INR 1.25 Lakh. Apart from this, there are other expenses such as an initial skills assessment, which costs around 45k INR and an English proficiency test, which costs around 15k INR.

OPRA Exam coaching online offers structured learning through live classes, recorded sessions, and AI-driven mock tests—academically designed to help international pharmacists prepare effectively and pass the OPRA Exam to practise in Australia.
