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.

A maths core, plus physics and chemistry chapters including mechanics — broader than a pure-maths OMPT.
omptest.org does publish the weighting of each exam — not on the syllabus page, which is where we looked for years, but on its learning assessment page, read on 11 August 2026: Functions, graphs and equations 45% · Sequences & series 10% · Trigonometric functions 15% · Geometry and coordinates 10% · Mechanics 10% · Chemistry 10%. The bars above are those percentages, and the right-hand column is the official share itself. Where one official group covers several chapters listed above, the group's percentage is split between them in proportion to the topic counts omptest.org publishes in the syllabus — that split is our deduction, and the only one on this page. Note how small the science half really is: mechanics and chemistry are 10% each, 20% together. Until August 2026 our mock exams gave mechanics alone 27%. Our mock exams draw on exactly these numbers: the bars on this page and the weights our engine draws from are the same file, and the build fails if they ever disagree.
A smaller set of programmes that require science alongside maths. Often the ones below — but always confirm on your own programme's page.
Honest answer: few programmes list this variant publicly.
Booking the official OMPT-G before you're ready is an expensive way to find your gaps.
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.
Work the maths core and the physics chapters — 1D/2D motion, forces & Newton's laws, work & energy — using only the on-screen scientific calculator, exactly like the real exam.
26 questions, 180 minutes. Sit a timed mock until you score comfortably above your programme's cutoff — only then spend the 240 €.
Three pages to read before the paid OMPT-G:
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.
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.
Not your own. A scientific digital calculator is provided inside the platform — the OMPT-G gets the scientific one, not the basic one. Questions are still designed to be solvable without a graphing calculator. Train that way.
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.
An official OMPT-G attempt costs 240 €, purchased separately each time. Most programmes allow 2 attempts; Utrecht allows up to 3 and Erasmus School of Economics only 1 — check your programme. Results take up to 8 working days.
