What is the OMPT (Online Mathematics Placement Test)?

The OMPT is the Online Mathematics Placement Test that many Dutch universities use for admission to bachelor's and pre-master's programmes. It comes in seven variants — OMPT-A, OMPT-B, OMPT-C, OMPT-D, OMPT-E, OMPT-F and OMPT-G — each covering a different set of topics. Economics and business programmes usually ask for the OMPT-A or OMPT-F; psychology and social sciences programmes typically sit the OMPT-E.

This free practice test is modelled on real OMPT topic weightings: pick your variant in the selector above (OMPT-A to OMPT-G) and the 10 questions follow that syllabus, so you can see exactly where you stand in 15 minutes — before you pay for an official attempt (€240 for most variants, €270 for OMPT-D and F). It is independent preparation, not the official test, which you book at omptest.org.

What does the free OMPT practice test cover?

The questions are drawn from the syllabus of the variant you pick in the selector. In the default OMPT-E variant, the 10 questions sample the six topic families of the official OMPT-E syllabus, in roughly the proportions the real exam gives them — so algebra and statistics & probability carry the most weight:

  • Algebra — equations, inequalities, fractions, factoring
  • Functions — linear, quadratic, composition, inverse
  • Exponentials & logarithms — laws and equations
  • Statistics — mean, median, spread, reading data
  • Probability — rules, conditional, independence
  • Combinatorics & random variables

How the test works

10 questions in 15 minutes, weighted by topic like the real OMPT and matched to the variant you choose in the selector. No personal calculator — the same conditions as the official exam, so you also practise the mental arithmetic and fraction work the real test demands. The moment you finish you get an instant score.

Try an example question — with the full solution

This is the level and style you will meet in the practice test. It is a probability question from the default OMPT-E variant; try it on paper before opening the solution below.

Question. A bag holds 5 red and 3 blue marbles. You draw two marbles one after the other, without putting the first one back. What is the probability that both marbles are red? Give your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.

Solution.

  1. First draw: 5 of the 8 marbles are red, so P(first red) = 5/8.
  2. Second draw: one red is gone, so 4 red remain among 7 marbles. P(second red, given first red) = 4/7.
  3. Multiply along the branch: 5/8 × 4/7 = 20/56 = 5/14.

Answer to enter: 5/14. The question asks for a fraction in lowest terms, so that exact form is what counts — with no calculator allowed, working in fractions is both expected and faster than converting to decimals.

If that felt comfortable, the timed test will tell you whether you are as fast under the clock. If it did not, the per-topic breakdown will show you exactly which family to revise first.

Economics and business admission: OMPT-A and OMPT-F

Most economics, business and management programmes ask for the OMPT-A — 52 questions in 120 minutes, covering algebra through introductory differential calculus. Some point instead to the heavier OMPT-F — 21 questions in 180 minutes with more advanced calculus, and a €270 fee instead of €240. The two differ a lot in depth and prep time, so read the guide for the exact variant your programme lists.

Psychology and social sciences: OMPT-E

The OMPT-E — 40 questions in 120 minutes — swaps calculus for statistics and probability, which makes it the usual test for psychology, sociology and political science programmes. OMPT-E is the default variant of this free practice test — pick it in the selector for exactly this weighting.

Science, engineering and technical programmes: OMPT-B, C, D and G

Technical programmes spread across four variants. OMPT-B (64 questions, 150 minutes) adds trigonometry and integration and is common for applied engineering, IT and econometrics. OMPT-C (30 questions, 120 minutes) is the lightest test, sometimes accepted as an alternative for psychology or humanities. OMPT-D (21 questions, 180 minutes) is the most maths-intensive, aimed at maths, physics and other STEM programmes, and OMPT-G (26 questions, 180 minutes) adds an introductory physics chapter on top of the maths core.

Which Dutch universities use the OMPT?

The OMPT is used in admissions at universities and schools across the Netherlands. We keep a fiche per institution — which programmes ask for the test, which variant, and how to prepare:

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official OMPT exam?

No. OMPT Trainer is independent preparation and is not affiliated with the official test. You book and sit the real OMPT at omptest.org; we help you walk in ready.

Is the practice test really free?

Yes. The 10-question test and your overall score are completely free. A free account unlocks the per-topic breakdown and a personalised study plan.

What is on the OMPT-E?

The OMPT-E covers algebra, functions, exponentials and logarithms, statistics, probability, combinatorics and random variables. Pick the OMPT-E variant in this practice test — it is the default — to train on the same weighting.

Do I need a calculator?

No personal calculator is allowed on the OMPT-E, and this practice test runs under the same no-calculator conditions whichever variant you pick.

Which OMPT variant do I need?

It depends on your programme, not on you. Economics and business programmes usually ask for the OMPT-A or OMPT-F; psychology and social sciences programmes typically sit the OMPT-E; science and engineering programmes are usually pointed to OMPT-B, C, D or G. Check your programme's admission page, or use our which OMPT do I need? guide.
