The lightest, most foundational OMPT. Numbers, algebra, linear equations and basic geometry — no calculus, no statistics. Here's the format, what it covers, the pass marks, and how to train.
Four foundational chapters — core quantitative skills only. No calculus, no statistics, no trigonometry.
Integers, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, powers and roots — arithmetic done cleanly and by hand.
Expanding and factoring, simplifying expressions, working with variables and basic manipulation of formulas.
Solving linear equations, rearranging formulas, slopes and intercepts, and reading straight-line graphs.
Lines and angles, triangles and their properties, and the Pythagorean theorem.
The exact split of the 30 questions isn't published. This reflects the share of the 66 syllabus topics per chapter.
OMPT-C is the foundational check — used where a programme needs basic quantitative skills rather than advanced maths.
Often the variant for humanities tracks, communication science and some psychology routes — programmes that want a solid numeric base without calculus or statistics.
Lists OMPT-C as an option for Psychology (alongside OMPT-E) and for Communication Science (C / D / E). Minimum score generally around 55%.
Accepts OMPT across its tracks; the Humanities route typically maps to the lighter variant. Confirm the exact variant with the programme.
From the university pages in our directory. Few programmes name OMPT-C publicly — always confirm on your programme's admission page.
It's the lightest OMPT — but it's still paid, proctored and attempt-limited. Walking in cold is expensive.
Three steps. The OMPT-C is shallow but unforgiving on careless arithmetic — beat it with reps, not cramming.
Start with a free practice test and get an instant per-topic breakdown. You'll see in minutes whether numbers, algebra, linear equations or geometry is your weak spot.
Train the four chapters with randomised questions and worked solutions — by hand or with the basic on-screen calculator only. Build clean arithmetic habits the exam rewards.
Sit a full-length, timed mock under exam conditions. When you clear 75% comfortably twice, book the real OMPT-C — not before.
Three quick reads before you book the paid OMPT-C:
30 questions in 120 minutes — about 4 minutes each, the most generous pacing of any OMPT. The syllabus covers 66 topics with ~40 hours of prep recommended, making it the lightest variant.
Four foundational areas: numbers, algebra, linear formulas and equations, and basic geometry (lines, angles, triangles, Pythagoras). No calculus, no statistics, no trigonometry.
It depends on your university and programme. Published cutoffs for OMPT tests range from ~55% (e.g. Radboud) up to ~75% (most demanding, e.g. Utrecht). Always check your programme's admission page.
Typically humanities tracks, communication science and some psychology routes — programmes that need basic quantitative skills rather than advanced maths. At Radboud, for example, Psychology accepts OMPT-C or OMPT-E. Confirm which your programme asks for.
An official OMPT-C attempt costs 240 € (D and F cost 270 €). Most programmes allow 1–2 attempts; a few allow up to 3. Results arrive within about 8 working days. Because attempts are limited and paid, prepare thoroughly before booking.
