What is KROK Exam

KROK is a Medical Licensing Examination for awarding the qualification of doctor or pharmacist. Students who are preparing for the specialties “Medicine”, “Dentistry” and “Pharmacy” have to pass two separate test exams – “KROK–1” and “KROK–2“. The primary examination “KROK–1” comprises the basic biomedical sciences, the next one – “KROK–2” comprises the basic professionally oriented disciplines. This certification exam used to recognize the appropriate level of professional knowledge and skills of students in higher medical (pharmaceutical) educational institutions’ minimum needed level of qualification according to national qualification requirements.

The KROK Exam is conducted by the Testing Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. KROK 1 – This is the first part of the Ukrainian Medical Examination. KROK-1 is on the general scientific discipline, which can be cleared after studying basic fundamental disciplines included in the KROK-1 test exam. Its objective is to test whether school students or graduates can apply important concepts of the foundational science fundamental to the practice of medicine. Ukrainian medical students usually take KROK -1 at the end of the third year of medical school to seek licensure to practice medicine in Ukraine. Graduates of international medical schools must also attempt Step 1 if they want to practice in Ukraine. The Exam is three and a half hours (for foreign students four hours) and taken in a single day. It is composed of 200 multiple-choice questions. The minimum percentage required to clear the exams as quoted by the Testing Centre is 60.5%. All students who couldn’t clear the KROK-1 exam can retake the KROK-1 again but not more than 2 times in the terms established by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. In the case of the result “not passed” after the third attempt, the students are not admitted to the next examination session and expelled from the institution of higher education.

KROK-2 – the examination for professional-oriented disciplines that correspond to the training program for professionals in the medical field. The minimum passing percentage as quoted by the Testing Center is 60.5%. Students who get a negative result in the KROK-2 test are allowed to complete the state graduation tests. But they are exempted from getting a certificate of licensing KROK-2 test. If the candidate couldn’t clear state attestation, they won’t get the diploma of higher education institutions. The candidate can retake the KROK-2 test earlier than a year.

According to the order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine “On the order of conducting the integrated examinations” from 29.04.2013 items 5.1 and 5.2:

Only students without backlogs in the curriculum, particularly in the disciplines of “KROK-1” are permitted to attend the exam “KROK-1”.
