Sample Cambodia Health Entrance Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Cambodia Health Entrance Exam exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Solve the linear equation 5x - 12 = 3x + 8.
A.x = 8
B.x = 10
C.x = 12
D.x = 20
Explanation: Subtract 3x from both sides to obtain 2x - 12 = 8. Add 12 to both sides to get 2x = 20, so x = 10. Substituting x = 10 recovers 50 - 12 = 30 + 8, which checks.
2Evaluate 2^5 + 3^3.
A.35
B.41
C.59
D.243
Explanation: 2^5 = 32 and 3^3 = 27. Adding these powers gives 32 + 27 = 59. Exponents apply only to their own bases before the addition is performed.
3A triangle has base 10 cm and corresponding height 6 cm. What is its area?
A.16 cm^2
B.30 cm^2
C.60 cm^2
D.120 cm^2
Explanation: The area of a triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 10 * 6 = 30 cm^2. The factor 1/2 distinguishes the triangular area from the area of a 10-by-6 rectangle.
4What is the exact value of cos 60°?
A.0
B.1/2
C.sqrt(3)/2
D.1
Explanation: In a 30°-60°-90° triangle the side adjacent to 60° is half the hypotenuse, so cos 60° = 1/2. This is also the cosine of pi/3 radians.
5An arithmetic sequence has first term a_1 = 7 and common difference d = 5. What is the 8th term a_8?
A.35
B.40
C.42
D.47
Explanation: The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d. Here a_8 = 7 + 7 * 5 = 7 + 35 = 42.
6What is 24 percent of 250?
A.24
B.50
C.60
D.96
Explanation: 24 percent means 24/100 = 0.24. Then 0.24 * 250 = 60. Equivalently, 24 * 250 / 100 = 6000 / 100 = 60.
7Evaluate log_10(0.01).
A.-2
B.-1
C.2
D.100
Explanation: 0.01 = 10^{-2}, so log_10(0.01) = -2 by the definition of the common logarithm. Numbers between 0 and 1 have negative common logarithms.
8What is the midpoint of the segment joining A(2, 8) and B(6, 4)?
A.(4, 6)
B.(4, 12)
C.(8, 12)
D.(2, 4)
Explanation: The midpoint formula is ((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1 + y_2)/2). That gives ((2 + 6)/2, (8 + 4)/2) = (4, 6).
9For x not equal to 4, simplify (x^2 - 16)/(x - 4).
A.x - 4
B.x + 4
C.x^2 - 4
D.4
Explanation: x^2 - 16 is a difference of squares (x - 4)(x + 4). Cancelling the common factor x - 4 (valid for x not equal to 4) leaves x + 4.
10What is the arithmetic mean of 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24?
A.15
B.18
C.21
D.90
Explanation: The five numbers sum to 90. The mean is 90 / 5 = 18. They form an arithmetic progression whose middle term is also the mean.

About the Cambodia Health Entrance Exam Exam

Cambodia recruits students into public and private health training institutions through a national entrance examination (ប្រឡងចូលរៀនថ្នាក់ជាតិក្នុងវិស័យសុខាភិបាល) required by Sub-Decree No. 21 ANKr.BK on Health Education. The National Examination Committee for Health Sector Training (NECHS) runs the sitting. The 2010 guideline names biology, chemistry, and mathematics. For 2025–2026, Fresh News reported NECHS online registration at medical-exam.poscar.cloud and MoH Prakas 0275 (7 October 2025) quotas of 11,165 foundation-year or year-1 places. Ranking uses moyenne générale and candidate preferences. This free bank offers independent English-language MCQ practice for those STEM subjects; it is not an official NECHS paper or a UHS-only institutional test.

Exam sponsor: National Examination Committee for Health Sector Training (NECHS). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

National written concours in Khmer for bachelor (foundation year) and associate (year 1) admission to health training institutions, sat over two days. Paper durations are fixed by each sitting's NECHS notice rather than by a standing rule: the 2025–2026 associate sitting on 31 January – 1 February 2026 ran biology 13:30–14:30, chemistry 15:30–16:30, and mathematics 14:00–15:00, one hour per paper (Fresh News, 31 Jan 2026), whereas the 2024–2025 notice was reported as 90 minutes for biology and chemistry and 120 minutes for mathematics (Khmer Times, 16 Jan 2025). Results rank candidates by moyenne générale against MoH programme quotas. This 100-question bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation and does not simulate official paper formatting.

Time Limit

Set per sitting in the NECHS notice. Most recent published sitting (31 January – 1 February 2026): one hour per paper in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. The 2024–2025 notice was reported as 90 minutes for biology and chemistry and 120 minutes for mathematics.

2Drill stoichiometry, equilibrium, and pH calculations as well as cell biology and human physiology.
3Use this English MCQ bank to check concepts, then practise written solutions because official papers are not published as English multiple-choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cambodia health sciences entrance exam only for the University of Health Sciences?

No. Sub-Decree 21 requires a national entrance examination for health training institutions in both the public and private sectors. NECHS assigns successful candidates by score, quota, and preference across named programmes and institutions, including but not limited to UHS.

What subjects are tested?

The November 2010 National Entrance Examination Guideline names biology, chemistry, and mathematics and leaves the type and duration of each paper to a NECHS decision. Durations therefore change between sittings: the 31 January – 1 February 2026 associate sitting used one hour per paper (Fresh News, 31 Jan 2026), while the 2024–2025 notice was reported as 90 minutes for biology and chemistry and 120 minutes for mathematics (Khmer Times, 16 Jan 2025). Official item counts are not published. Check the current NECHS notice before your own sitting.

Is the official examination multiple-choice and in English?

Official notices describe a Khmer written national concours. This OpenExamPrep bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for the underlying science and mathematics—not an official translation or format simulation.
