OMPT-A — format, topics & how to prepare.
Broad foundations through introductory calculus: algebra, functions, exponentials & logarithms, and differentiation. Here's the format, the topic weights, the pass marks, and how to train.

A broad algebra core, then introductory differentiation. No statistics or probability — that's the OMPT-E.
OMPT-A is the economics-and-business maths test — roughly Dutch Wiskunde A level. Programmes that often ask for it:
From the university pages in our directory. Mappings change yearly — always confirm on your programme's admission page.
Each university — sometimes each programme — sets its own cutoff. Published examples:
Take the free 10-question test → instant score with a per-topic breakdown. You'll know in minutes whether your weak spot is algebra, functions or differentiation.
Short sessions with step-by-step fixes and an AI tutor when you're stuck. Type exact answers the way a CAS expects them, and hammer derivative rules until they're automatic.
Run full mock exams under real conditions — timed, basic calculator only — and follow a day-by-day plan so you book the paid OMPT-A only when you're consistently above your target.
Free to start, no card. Premium from €14.99, one-off — no subscription.
Three short reads before you book the paid OMPT-A:
52 questions in 120 minutes — a little over two minutes each. 176 topics, ~80 hours of prep recommended (less if your algebra base is solid).
A broad algebra core (numbers, algebra, linear formulas & equations, systems of linear equations, quadratic equations, functions, exponentials & logarithms) plus introductory differentiation. There's no statistics or probability — that's the OMPT-E.
Depends on your university and programme. Published cutoffs range from ~55% (Radboud) to 75% (Utrecht). Aim comfortably above 75% in practice, then check your programme's admission page for the exact number.
A single official OMPT-A attempt costs 240 €. Most programmes allow 1–2 attempts; a few allow up to 3 (and Erasmus School of Economics allows only 1). Each attempt is bought separately, so it pays to be ready before you book.
Not your own. A basic digital calculator is provided in the platform; every question is solvable without a graphing calculator. Train that way from day one.
OMPT-A (52q) covers algebra through introductory differentiation and is typical for economics and business. OMPT-E (40q) swaps the calculus for statistics & probability and is typical for psychology and social sciences. Check which one your programme currently lists — some have switched.
