Short answer: Allied health professionals can split their revision between their specialty and shared clinical topics such as patient safety, infection control, emergencies and ethics. DHA does not state a split, and each title has its own format and pass score, so check your exact title in the DHA guideline first.
Do not skip the shared domains
It is tempting to study only your specialty. But every clinician is expected to recognise a deteriorating patient, follow infection-control rules and respect consent and confidentiality.
A simple split to start with
As a starting point only, many people spend about 60% of study time on their specialty and 40% on shared topics. DHA does not state a split, so adjust it once you see your own weak areas. As the exam approaches, use mixed sets so you practise switching between topics.
Habits that help
Keep short, regular sessions. Turn missed questions into one-line rules. Take a timed set each week.
- Review incorrect answers within 48 hours.
- Use flashcards for normal values and emergency steps.
- Sit at least one full-length mock under timed conditions if one is available for your profession.
Verify your category
Allied health covers many professions with different requirements. Always confirm the current exam details for yours with the DHA.
