AUSTRIA / EXAM RULES
Format, scoring and rules for university nostrification exams. Each statement has a source and review date. Unconfirmed details stay visibly unconfirmed.
Where basic equivalence is established, Rezeptierkunde and legal medicine are prescribed regardless of the test result. A rejected application does not lead to supplementary exams. Your Bescheid identifies the required parts.

According to the candidate announcement for the sitting on 1 October 2026, Rezeptierkunde is a written exam with 30 one-best-answer questions. Each question has five options with exactly one best answer. A correct answer scores one point and wrong answers cost nothing. The exam lasts one hour: 45 minutes for the questions and 15 minutes to transfer answers to the answer sheet. The content comes from blocks 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 18, 19 and 21 (overview of 13 September 2018). Check the announcement for your own sitting before relying on this.

According to the announcement for the sitting on 1 October 2026, late arrivals can only work until the regular end of the exam. Bring two soft pencils, an eraser and your student ID. A calculator without text memory is allowed. Foreign-language dictionaries and translation devices are not allowed; phones and electronic devices must be switched off and stored before the exam. Using unauthorised aids means the exam is not graded and still counts as an attempt.
