GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) Practice Test

The GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests working knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practice for medicines and APIs — the pharmaceutical quality system and quality risk management, premises, equipment and validation, production, documentation and data integrity, and quality control, deviations, CAPA and batch release — written to the PIC/S and EU GMP Guide, US 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211, WHO GMP and ICH Q7, Q9(R1) and Q10 for 2026. The principles are shared by GMP regulators worldwide. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable GMP Readiness certificate (SOA-GMPG). Every question is based on published standards and research — including EudraLex Volume 4: EU Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines (including Annex 1, 11 and 15) (European Commission), ICH Quality Guidelines (Q7, Q9(R1), Q10) (International Council for Harmonisation), Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations (US Food and Drug Administration) — and each answer is explained with its source.

The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Quality System and Risk Management (Pharmaceutical quality system, Quality risk management and Personnel and training); Premises, Equipment and Validation (Facility design, Qualification and Process and cleaning validation); Production, Documentation and Data Integrity (Batch records, Good documentation practice and Data integrity); Quality Control, Deviations and Release (OOS, Deviations and CAPA and Complaints and recalls). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

GMP production operator, Quality assurance officer, Quality control analyst, Validation engineer and Pharmaceutical or biotech supervisor.

cGMP is the US FDA term, where the "c" stands for current: firms must use up-to-date systems and technology. In practice both describe the same minimum standards for making medicines safely and consistently.

Most regulators base inspections on the PIC/S GMP Guide (aligned with EU GMP), WHO GMP, or US 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211, and all follow ICH Q7, Q9 and Q10. The core principles in this test are common to all of them.
