Complete your maths requirement with one-on-one OMPT-A tutoring
One-on-one OMPT-A tutoring programme. In a free initial consultation we assess your level and agree the plan and the exact price together. Parents and students are both welcome to reach out.
What is the OMPT-A exam?
The OMPT (Online Mathematics Placement Test) is an online exam used by universities in the Netherlands to meet the mathematics requirement for undergraduate applications. International students whose school diploma does not meet the required maths level can close this gap with the OMPT.
The OMPT-A module suits programs that require foundational mathematics, such as business, economics and social sciences, and covers a more basic curriculum than the modules aimed at more maths-intensive courses. The exam includes topics such as algebra, functions, and exponential and logarithmic expressions; because it is taken online, it is flexible in date and location.

OMPT-A exam format
The OMPT-A is an online mathematics placement test covering the following content areas:
Algebra and equations
Numbers, algebraic expressions and solving equations
Functions and graphs
Linear and nonlinear functions, interpreting graphs
Exponential and logarithmic expressions
Exponential functions and logarithm rules
Delivery and scoring
Online · proctored · timed · pass threshold set by the university applied to
OMPT-A topics
The topic areas on the exam and their weight. Lessons don't follow this order — we start from the area that will move your score the most.
Numbers and algebra
Foundation block · underpins every question
- Fractions, percentages, powers and roots
- Expanding and factorising algebraic expressions
- Solving linear equations and inequalities
- Systems of linear equations (two unknowns)
- Quadratic equations: factorising, discriminant, formula
Functions and graphs
The heaviest part of the test
- Linear functions: slope, intercepts, equation from two points
- Quadratic functions: vertex, roots, sketching
- Reading piecewise and rational functions
- Domain and range, composition and inverse functions
- From graph to equation and back
Exponential functions and logarithms
The block economics and business programmes care about
- Exponential growth and decay models (compound interest, population)
- Power rules and equating bases in equations
- Definition of the logarithm and its basic rules
- Solving logarithmic equations
- Interpreting exponential and logarithmic graphs
Differentiation (introductory)
Where OMPT-A stops and OMPT-B/C begin
- The derivative as a slope
- Derivatives of polynomial, exponential and simple rational functions
- Basic use of the product and chain rules
- Maxima/minima and increasing/decreasing intervals
- Applied optimisation (cost, revenue)
OMPT-A question types and strategy
Each question type has its own approach. In lessons we work on these strategies alongside the content.
Numeric answer entry
In most questions you type the answer yourself; there are no options. The system accepts integers, fractions and decimals; if rounding is required the question says so.
Check the unit and the requested form before typing the final step. Look at whether the question wants a fraction or a decimal before converting; unnecessary rounding costs points.
Formula and expression entry
In algebra and function questions the answer may be an expression (for example a derivative or an equation). The system accepts mathematically equivalent forms.
Practise OMPT's input syntax (powers, roots, multiplication) in the practice environment before test day; learning syntax during the exam wastes time. Simplifying is optional, correctness is what counts.
Reading graphs and modelling
A graph or a worded scenario is given; you are asked to set up the equation, read off a value or compare two models. Economics contexts (price, demand, interest) are common.
Name the variables first, then write the equation. In exponential growth questions use the rate as a multiplier (1.05) rather than a percentage; that is the most common slip.
Scoring and target scores
The OMPT-A is a placement test: the goal is not to rank near the top but to prove your mathematics proficiency by meeting the pass threshold set by the university. The result is sent to the program you apply to and shows whether you meet the requirement. The pass mark needed can vary by university and program.
The OMPT-A suits students who want to study business, economics or social sciences in the Netherlands and need to meet the mathematics requirement. Because the exam is online, it can be taken on flexible dates throughout the year. Preparation time depends on your current maths foundation; a planned course of study focused on closing topic gaps is enough for most students.
What we cover in OMPT-A lessons

Exam format and question strategies
What sets the price of OMPT-A tutoring?
There is no single list price; the fee depends on the programme. You get a clear quote in the consultation — nothing is added later.
Lessons per week
One, two or three lessons a week — set by the time until the exam and the score gap.
Total duration and package
Lessons are priced as a package; longer programmes lower the per-lesson cost.
Scope
One section (say, Math only) or the whole exam? A narrower scope means a shorter programme.
Tutor and level
The tutor you're matched with and your starting level shape the plan, and therefore the fee.
Adding coaching?
Coaching and application counselling is an optional, separately priced programme.
Every lesson you pay for is 1:1
No crowded classroom, no idle hours. Keep that in mind when comparing with group-course prices.
In the free initial consultation we assess your level, draw up the plan and give you the exact price. No surprises.
What is the OMPT-A and who should take it?
How applicants to economics, business and social-science programmes in the Netherlands prove their maths proficiency.
The OMPT (Online Mathematics Placement Test) is the online maths proficiency test Dutch universities ask of applicants whose school diploma does not meet the mathematics requirement. A Turkish high-school diploma is not accepted outright by most programmes; the OMPT is typically required from students who had little mathematics in grades 11–12 or graduated from a verbal or equal-weight track. The university states which module it needs during the application; OMPT-A is the most commonly requested one.
- Who it is for: applicants to economics, business, international business administration, communication, psychology and similar programmes. Maths-heavy degrees such as econometrics, data science and engineering usually require OMPT-B, C or D.
- Format: 52 questions, 120 minutes, online and proctored. Your ID and room are checked before the start and the webcam stays on throughout.
- Date and place: any day and time of the year, from home. The result is reported quickly and forwarded to the university.
- Pass mark: set by the university; two universities can require different thresholds for the same module. Read the condition in your offer letter before planning.
The OMPT-A is not a ranking exam: the goal is not a perfect score but clearing the threshold with a safe margin, so preparation focuses on closing the weakest topic. For the Dutch application calendar and programme choice see our Netherlands consultancy page.
How to prepare for the OMPT-A: a 4–8 week plan
The length depends on how far you are from school maths; the plan starts with a level assessment.
- Level assessment (week 1). One timed set from each of the four topic blocks. Most Turkish students are solid in algebra and weak in exponentials/logarithms and differentiation; the plan is written around that result.
- Closing the gaps (weeks 2–5). Two 1-on-1 lessons a week plus 3–4 hours of homework. Functions and graphs first, then exponentials and logarithms, differentiation last. Each lesson ends with OMPT-style questions on that topic; the answer-entry syntax is practised in class.
- Speed and mock tests (weeks 6–7). Full 120-minute mocks. You have about 2.3 minutes per question; the habit of skipping a stuck question and returning at the end is built here.
- Test week. ID, quiet room, camera and connection check; you sit the test with your last two mocks above the threshold.
Four weeks is realistic if school maths is recent and grades were good; eight weeks for a student who left quantitative subjects two or three years ago. If the university asks for OMPT-B or C the plan is extended with differentiation and integration; we decide that together in the first call.
