What is the minimum OMPT score for Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam?

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam programmes publish minimum OMPT scores between 60% and 70%, depending on the programme and module. The score is set by each programme, not by the test provider, and can change between admission cycles.

How do I prepare for the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam OMPT test?

Start with a full-length timed mock of the module your programme requires (OMPT-A, OMPT-B, OMPT-D, OMPT-E, OMPT-F) to find your weak chapters, then work through those chapters on the syllabus page. Examify builds independent practice tests for every OMPT module; it is not affiliated with the official test provider.

Which OMPT module does VU Amsterdam require for International Business Administration?

The School of Business and Economics accepts either OMPT-A with a minimum of 65% or OMPT-F with a minimum of 60% for International Business Administration. The same choice applies to Economics and Business Economics. OMPT-A has 52 questions in 120 minutes; OMPT-F has 21 longer questions in 180 minutes and costs €270 per attempt instead of €240.

What is the minimum OMPT score for VU Amsterdam?

It depends on the programme. Artificial Intelligence asks the most, 70% on OMPT-A. Economics and Business Economics and International Business Administration ask 65% on OMPT-A or 60% on OMPT-F. Econometrics and Operations Research, Econometrics and Data Science, Computer Science, Law in Society and Psychology all set 60% on their respective modules (OMPT-B, OMPT-D or OMPT-E).

How many OMPT attempts does VU Amsterdam allow?

The VU admission pages Examify checked on 23 July 2026 do not state an attempt limit for these eight programmes. An earlier version of this post reported a cap of two attempts per year; that figure is not on the current pages, so treat the attempt rule as unpublished and ask VU admissions before you rely on a retake.

Does VU Amsterdam accept alternatives to the OMPT?

Yes, for most programmes. Seven of the eight programmes list Boswell-Bèta and CCVX certificates as accepted alternatives and state that SAT or ACT scores are not accepted. Law in Society mentions no alternative test besides the equivalent VWO Mathematics C grade of 5.5 out of 10.

Which OMPT module does VU Computer Science use?

Computer Science at the Faculty of Science requires OMPT-D with a minimum score of 60%. OMPT-D is the broadest module: 21 questions in 180 minutes covering 242 topics in 11 chapters, including trigonometry, geometry and integration, with a suggested 120 hours of preparation and a fee of €270 per attempt.

How long should I prepare for the VU Amsterdam OMPT test?

Use the test provider's estimates as a floor: about 80 hours for OMPT-A and OMPT-F, 100 for OMPT-B and 120 for OMPT-D and OMPT-E. At 2.5 to 3 hours a day that is four to six weeks. Add 38 days of calendar room before your application deadline if you want one retake in reserve, since results take up to 8 business days.

When to take the OMPT for a Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam application

OMPT results arrive within 8 business days and a test slot has to be booked at least 72 hours in advance, so the last safe test date is about 12 calendar days before the application deadline. If you want one retake in reserve, sit the first attempt about 38 days before the deadline. Most programmes allow up to three attempts, each at the full fee, but some count only the first attempt, so confirm the rule on the programme page linked in the table.

Each attempt costs €240 (OMPT-A, B, C, E, G) or €270 (OMPT-D, F). A full-length timed mock before the first paid attempt shows whether you are already above the minimum score. How to book the OMPT, step by step.

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam OMPT requirements explained

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam requires an OMPT module for eight bachelor programmes, and the module depends on the faculty. Economics and IBA accept OMPT-A at 65% or OMPT-F at 60%, the econometrics tracks use OMPT-B at 60%, Computer Science OMPT-D at 60%, Artificial Intelligence OMPT-A at 70%, and Law in Society and Psychology OMPT-E at 60%. No attempt limit is published. Examify verified this on the official VU pages on 23 July 2026.

VU Amsterdam OMPT requirements by programme

Programme	Faculty / campus	OMPT module	Minimum score	Attempt rule / notes
Economics and Business Economics	School of Business and Economics, Amsterdam	OMPT-A or OMPT-F	65% (OMPT-A) / 60% (OMPT-F)	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not
International Business Administration	School of Business and Economics, Amsterdam	OMPT-A or OMPT-F	65% (OMPT-A) / 60% (OMPT-F)	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not
Econometrics and Operations Research	School of Business and Economics, Amsterdam	OMPT-B	60% (5.5/10)	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not
Econometrics and Data Science	School of Business and Economics, Amsterdam	OMPT-B	60% (5.5/10)	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not
Computer Science	Faculty of Science, Amsterdam	OMPT-D	60%	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not
Artificial Intelligence	Faculty of Science, Amsterdam	OMPT-A	70%	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not
Law in Society	Faculty of Law, Amsterdam	OMPT-E	60% (or 5.5/10 Maths C equivalent)	Not published; no alternative test besides the equivalent VWO grade
Psychology	Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences, Amsterdam	OMPT-E	60%	Not published; Boswell-Bèta and CCVX accepted, SAT/ACT not

The pattern follows the faculties. The School of Business and Economics gives its two business programmes a choice between OMPT-A and OMPT-F and sends its two econometrics programmes to OMPT-B. The Faculty of Science splits: Computer Science asks for the broad OMPT-D, Artificial Intelligence for OMPT-A at the highest threshold on the list. Law and Psychology both use OMPT-E, the module with a statistics track.

Two things to note. Seven programmes accept Boswell-Bèta and CCVX certificates as alternatives and state that SAT and ACT results are not accepted; Law in Society lists no alternative test, only the VWO Mathematics C equivalent of 5.5 out of 10. And none of the eight pages publishes an attempt limit or a validity period, so do not assume a retake is allowed without asking admissions. The 60% threshold at the econometrics programmes is written as 5.5 on the Dutch 10-point scale.

Which OMPT modules VU Amsterdam uses and what they look like

VU uses five OMPT modules; the figures come from the test provider's syllabus pages.

OMPT-A
Questions	52
Time	120 minutes (about 2.3 minutes per question)
Chapters / topics	8 / 176
Suggested preparation	about 80 hours

OMPT-A covers Numbers, Algebra, Linear formulas and equations, Systems of linear equations, Quadratic equations, Functions, Exponential functions and logarithms, and Differentiation. Artificial Intelligence uses it at 70%, the business programmes at 65%. See the OMPT-A syllabus.

OMPT-F
Questions	21
Time	180 minutes (about 8.6 minutes per question)
Chapters / topics	6 / 149
Suggested preparation	about 80 hours

OMPT-F drops Numbers and Systems of linear equations and goes deeper into Algebra, Linear formulas and equations, Quadratic equations, Functions, Exponential functions and logarithms, and Differentiation. Fewer topics, longer questions. See the OMPT-F syllabus.

OMPT-B
Questions	64
Time	150 minutes (about 2.3 minutes per question)
Chapters / topics	10 / 226
Suggested preparation	about 100 hours

OMPT-B is the OMPT-A chapter list plus Trigonometry and Integration. Both econometrics programmes use it at 60%. See the OMPT-B syllabus.

OMPT-D
Questions	21
Time	180 minutes (about 8.6 minutes per question)
Chapters / topics	11 / 242
Suggested preparation	about 120 hours

OMPT-D adds Trigonometry, Geometry and Integration to the OMPT-A chapters, for 11 chapters in total. Computer Science uses it at 60%. See the OMPT-D syllabus.

OMPT-E
Questions	40
Time	120 minutes (3 minutes per question)
Chapters / topics	12 / 161
Suggested preparation	about 120 hours

OMPT-E keeps the algebra and functions chapters (Numbers through Exponential and logarithmic functions), leaves out Differentiation, and adds Descriptive statistics, Probability, Combinatorics, Random variables and Common probability distributions. Law in Society and Psychology use it at 60%. See the OMPT-E syllabus.

VU Amsterdam OMPT minimum score in context

VU's thresholds sit at the low end of the 60% to 75% range most programmes use. Six of the eight programmes ask 60%, the business programmes 65% on OMPT-A, and only Artificial Intelligence reaches 70%. For comparison, Erasmus IBEB asks 70% on OMPT-A and counts the first attempt only, Maastricht SBE asks 75%, Tilburg asks 70% with a maximum of two attempts, and Radboud asks 55% on OMPT-D.

A lower bar does not change the preparation target much. The real exam is proctored, timed and graded on the typed final answer, and most students score below their mock. Aim 10 to 15 points above your VU threshold on a full-length mock before you book: 70 to 75% for a 60% programme, 80% or more for Artificial Intelligence. The OMPT passing scores page lists what other universities ask.

How to prepare for the VU Amsterdam OMPT test

Plan around the test provider's hour estimates: 80 for OMPT-A and OMPT-F, 100 for OMPT-B, 120 for OMPT-D and OMPT-E. At 2.5 to 3 hours a day that is four to six weeks. The preparation time guide adjusts the estimate for your starting level.

Sit a full-length diagnostic mock for your module before you study, under exam conditions: timer on, answers typed, on-screen calculator only. Examify's generation-1 mocks match the real question count and time limit; the OMPT-A one is at /shop/ompt-a-gen-1 and the other modules are in the shop. If you are choosing between OMPT-A and OMPT-F for a business programme, sit one of each and pick the module with the bigger margin above its threshold.
Score the mock per chapter and rank the chapters from weakest to strongest. Give the weakest two or three chapters the largest share of hours; for OMPT-E that is usually the statistics chapters, for OMPT-B and OMPT-D usually Trigonometry and Integration.
Practise in the answer format from day one. The OMPT grades the final answer as typed, so an unambiguous answer in the equation editor is part of the skill. The free OMPT practice test shows two of the harder questions per module in the real answer box.
Time every drill set from the second week at your module's pace: about 2.3 minutes per question for OMPT-A and OMPT-B, 3 minutes for OMPT-E, 8.6 minutes for OMPT-D and OMPT-F.
Sit a second full-length mock about two weeks before your planned test date. Book only if it lands 10 to 15 points above the VU threshold; otherwise move the date. A week-by-week version of this plan is in improve your OMPT score in 30 days, and how hard is the OMPT explains why mock scores tend to run above real ones.

Booking, deadlines and results for VU Amsterdam applicants

The test provider's rules set your latest test date. A slot must be booked at least 72 hours in advance. Each attempt is bought separately: €240 for OMPT-A, OMPT-B and OMPT-E, €270 for OMPT-D and OMPT-F. Results arrive within 8 business days, which is 10 to 12 calendar days depending on the weekday.

Count back from the VU application deadline on your programme's admissions page. The last safe test date is about 12 calendar days before that deadline. If you want one retake in reserve, allow 38 days: 12 for results, 14 to fix weak chapters and rebook, 12 for the second result. Because VU does not publish an attempt limit, confirm with admissions that a second attempt would be accepted before you plan on one.

Booking steps and proctoring rules are in how to book the OMPT; the stored requirements and verification date for every VU programme are on the VU Amsterdam university page. Requirements can change between intakes, so check the programme page before you book. Examify is independent and not affiliated with the OMPT, SOWISO or any university.
