A large proportion of international pharmacy graduates attempt the OPRA exam annually.However, the time required for OPRA exam preparation may not be the same for everyone. The preparation appears to be less difficult for recent graduates than for those with long career breaks. Those who have expertise in the hospital pharmacy sector, clinical pharmacy departments, retail pharmacy settings, and teaching are acquainted with medicines or relevant subjects. Zeal Academy is a pioneer in OPRA exam coaching in Kerala, India. With Zeal Academy’s tailored six-month coaching, candidates find it easy to gain sufficient knowledge to pass the OPRA exam.
I’d like to share a different experience of a candidate who cleared the OPRA exam conducted in November 2025.
Some pharmacy graduates need to rebuild their careers after a long career break. Our student, Shailja, moved to Australia a long time ago after completing a pharmacy degree in India. She graduated in 2008. She had been working in different sectors since then. When she contacted Zeal Academy for OPRA exam coaching online in May 2025, she was a bit sceptical about restarting her studies.
She had plenty of concerns on her mind:
- Will she be able to comprehend the concepts after such a huge break?
- Will she be able to balance her family responsibilities, job, and coaching?
- If she needed an explanation of the basics of any subject, would the faculty be able to explain them?
- What if she needed more time for the OPRA exam preparation?
- How frequently would she get to take the OPRA exam mock tests?
- Are the OPRA exam study materials provided by the institute enough to pass the exam?
Since we encounter many students with gaps in their studies and similar questions, we have proper solutions for all their concerns. At Zeal Academy, we begin with the basics and strive to understand individual needs. Our structure is well-defined, and we ask questions every day to assess students’ progress. Exams are assigned to students after each session to help them understand the type of MCQs. Students can contact the faculty to clear their doubts after classes. Our OPRA exam pass rate is incredible.
The reassurance on our part made her join the course. She studied according to the schedule and attended daily mock tests. She successfully balanced her family, job, and studies. She was consistent throughout the journey. At times, she got a little bit anxious when she kept forgetting some concepts. But she proceeded with her studies.
After completing the daily sessions and revision, she passed her exam in November 2025 on her first attempt. She is an inspiration to all OPRA aspirants. Everyone can ace the exam with effort, the right strategy, and proper guidance. Choosing the right OPRA coaching centre is crucial. However, being consistent is the key.
