Questions about Krok 1
Krok 1 is a state licensing test taken by every medical, dental and pharmacy student in Ukraine — international students included. It is the test component of the Unified State Qualification Exam (USQE), and international students sit it in English. Krok 1 covers the basic sciences — anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathophysiology, pharmacology. Questions repeat from year to year, so working through past papers is the shortest route to the pass mark.
The pass mark is 64% of correct answers. This is not a number Doctrina invented: it is set by the Ministry of Health (Наказ МОЗ України від 02.11.2023 № 1898 (редакція від 09.01.2026)). The exam simulation on Doctrina scores you against exactly that threshold, so "ready / not ready" on screen means the same thing it will on exam day.
Per Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 979 of 17 July 2026: 2 February — Krok 1 and the professional English language exam — Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy; 6 April — USQE stage 1 — Dentistry; 4 May — USQE stage 1 — Public Health, Therapy and Rehabilitation; 8 June — USQE stage 1 — Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy; 15–16 June — USQE stage 1 — Medicine, Paediatrics, Medical Psychology. The schedule is amended during the year, so confirm your date with your university and on testcentr.org.ua before you register.
