1In routine ABO grouping, a patient's red cells agglutinate with anti-A reagent but not with anti-B reagent. What ABO antigen is demonstrated on the red cells?
2For emergency red cell transfusion before the patient's ABO group is known, which unit type is generally selected first?
3The direct antiglobulin test is primarily used to detect which condition?
4Fresh frozen plasma is most appropriate when the goal is to replace:
5A patient develops fever and chills during transfusion, with no evidence of hemolysis. Which reaction is commonly associated with recipient antibodies or cytokines related to donor leukocytes?
6Forward typing suggests group A, and reverse typing shows agglutination only with B reagent cells. What is the most consistent ABO interpretation?
7An antibody screen is positive and an antiglobulin crossmatch is incompatible. What is the best next laboratory action before routine transfusion?
8An Rh-negative mother delivers an Rh-positive infant and has no evidence of immune anti-D. What prophylaxis is usually evaluated after delivery?
9A patient reports back pain, chills, and dark urine shortly after a red cell transfusion starts. What is the immediate priority?
10Which plasma type is generally considered the most compatible for emergency plasma transfusion when the recipient ABO group is unknown?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official name of the SCFHS laboratory exam?
The current SCFHS guide uses the official title Saudi Laboratory Specialist Licensure Examination (SLLE). The SCFHS licensure exam page links the Professional Laboratory Specialist blueprint to that SLLE Applicant Guide.
How many questions are on the SLLE?
The current SCFHS SLLE Applicant Guide states that the SLLE consists of 200 MCQs, which may include up to 10% additional pilot questions. It is divided into two parts of 100 questions (+/-10) each.
How long is the SLLE?
SCFHS lists two parts with 120 minutes allocated to each part and a scheduled 30-minute break between the parts. That is 240 minutes of testing time plus the scheduled break.
What is the SLLE passing score?
The current SCFHS SLLE Applicant Guide states that the pass score is 530 on the 200-800 reporting scale. An older 2022 SLLE PDF listed a different cut score, so this page uses the current guide linked from the SCFHS professional licensure exams page.
Does SCFHS publish the SLLE exam fee?
The public SCFHS and Prometric sources reviewed for this metadata do not publish a separate SLLE exam booking fee. SCFHS does publish SAR120 for the Professional Practice Licensure Exams Eligibility service.
Is the SLLE available by remote testing?
Prometric lists SCFHS as a Test Center Exam. The Prometric page mentions remote testing for practice exams for SLE titles, not for the licensure exam itself, so this metadata treats SLLE licensure delivery as test-center based.
Does SCFHS publish SLLE pass rates?
No public SCFHS or Prometric source reviewed for this file published SLLE candidate pass rates. This metadata does not invent a pass rate.
