About the KAPS Exam
The KAPS exam is a computer-based multiple-choice exam designed to assess whether international candidates meet the required knowledge level equivalent to Australian pharmacy graduates.
It evaluates:
• Biomedical sciences
• Pharmaceutical sciences
• Pharmacology and therapeutics
• Clinical pharmacy knowledge
• Patient care principles
The exam focuses on knowledge and application, ensuring candidates are ready to proceed to internship and further registration steps.

It is a knowledge assessment step required before progressing to internship and final registration exams.
Success depends on:
✔ Strong theoretical foundation
✔ Understanding of Australian pharmacy standards
✔ Application-based learning
✔ Effective exam strategy
That’s where IMA comes in.
