How can you explain the gap in a resume is one of the most asked questions in recent times. This question is asked in an interview to test the confidence of an interviewer if he can correctly justify the gap in his resume with proper reasoning.
It's not a matter of concern if you have a gap in your resume and you are able to defend it.

As per my experience most interviewer Don't entertain the exam prep gap year no matter if they find you good fit for the job or not they think that he/ she will leave our organisation because of the exam again so eventually they don't hire that candidate

Yes you can perfectly say that you have taken some time off due to Medical Emergency and it’s okay to take some time off. The most important point is skill, if you up-skill yourself doing some course, program it’s okay.

I left my job because of poor work environment which I can't share in an interview. Also, I thought of learning some other skills to switch my career. I've spent 2+ years now and have not learnt anything worthwhile. How can I justify these two things if I am looking to get back to my previous role( I don't have any options as I am in urgent need.) Please help 🙏🏽

I've got a 9 month career gap. I was actually learning to get into IT, so I learnt Devops. But things didn't go as planned because people with no experience in IT aren't being considered for the role of devops engineer. Previously I used work as Customer support and sales executive, Voice process. Now I've no choice but to get into the same role. I got rejected once for saying the truth and once for lying. Can I get some help as to how to justify. (Got reject in the last round in both the companies. My skills are really good tho)
