OMPT-G deep dive

OMPT-G — format, topics & how to prepare.

The OMPT-G adds science on top of maths: a maths core plus physics and chemistry chapters, including mechanics. Broader than a pure-maths OMPT. Here's the format, what's actually on it, and how to train.

What it covers.

A maths core, plus physics and chemistry chapters including mechanics — broader than a pure-maths OMPT.

Maths core
Linear formulas & equations
Systems of linear equations
Quadratic equations
Functions
Exponentials & logarithms
Sequences & series
Trigonometry
Geometry
Science (physics & chemistry)
Mechanics — 1D & 2D motion
Forces & Newton's laws
Work & energy
Introductory chemistry
The science block is what sets the OMPT-G apart. If your last physics class was a while ago, mechanics (motion, forces, energy) is where to spend your time.

Dots indicate topics are present, not an official question count — OMPT does not publish the exact per-chapter split for the 26 questions.

Not sure?
Compare the variants
Don't guess the variant. The OMPT-G is one of the less common tests, and programme requirements change year to year. Your programme's admission page lists the exact OMPT letter it asks for — treat that as the source of truth, not this page.

Universities that ask for OMPT-G.

Honest answer: few programmes list this variant publicly.

None of the universities in our directory currently names OMPT-G on its public admission pages — it's the rarest of the seven variants, used by programmes that need combined maths and introductory physics or chemistry. If your admission page or letter names OMPT-G, that's your source of truth. If you're not sure which variant you need, compare all OMPT variants →

Booking the official OMPT-G before you're ready is an expensive way to find your gaps.

Proctored online via ProctorU (webcam, mic, photo ID, room scan), booked at least 72 hours ahead. No personal calculator — a basic one is provided in the platform. With one or two paid shots at 240 € each and a hard admission deadline, a failed sitting can cost you hundreds of euros and the place itself. Prepare first.

How to prepare with OMPT Trainer.

1

Diagnose for free

Start with a free practice test to see where you stand. You get an instant per-topic breakdown so you know whether maths or the science block is your weak side.

2

Drill maths and mechanics, calculator-free

Work the maths core and the physics chapters — 1D/2D motion, forces & Newton's laws, work & energy — using only the basic on-screen calculator, exactly like the real exam.

3

Simulate full length, then book

26 questions, 180 minutes. Sit a timed mock until you score comfortably above your programme's cutoff — only then spend the 240 €.

Read up on what makes the OMPT hard — with physics and chemistry on top of the maths core, pacing matters even more on G. Find your target in the sourced OMPT passing-scores table, then simulate exam conditions with a free OMPT mock exam. It's also worth knowing whether you can retake OMPT-G and how many attempts your university allows, and planning around the 2026 OMPT deadlines and Studielink dates.

FAQ

How long is the OMPT-G, and how many questions?

26 questions in 180 minutes — close to 7 minutes per question. It's longer per question than most OMPT variants because the science items take more working.

How is it different from a pure-maths OMPT?

The OMPT-G adds science on top of maths. It keeps a maths core (linear & quadratic equations, systems, functions, exponentials & logarithms, sequences, trigonometry, geometry) and adds physics and chemistry chapters, including mechanics — 1D/2D motion, forces & Newton's laws, work & energy. A pure-maths OMPT such as the OMPT-A or OMPT-E has none of that science.

Can I use a calculator?

Not your own. A basic digital calculator is provided inside the platform; questions are designed to be solvable without a graphing calculator. Train that way.

What score do I need to pass?

It depends on your university and programme. Published cutoffs for OMPT tests range roughly from 55% up to about 75% for the most demanding programmes. Always confirm on your programme's admission page.

How much does it cost and how many attempts do I get?

An official OMPT-G attempt costs 240 €, purchased separately each time. Most programmes allow 1–2 attempts and some allow up to 3 — check your programme. Results take up to 8 working days.

How do I book the official OMPT-G?

On the official omptest.org site, at least 72 hours ahead of your slot. We've written a step-by-step walkthrough: how to book the OMPT →

Is this the official OMPT website?

No. OMPT Trainer is an independent practice resource, not affiliated with SOWISO or the official exam. Book the real test on the official site; train here.
