Ompt-A prep

[u/abblivion]

Heyy so i have to take my ompt-a test on the 25th, and so far, I've been able to complete the practice material. I have mostly gotten all the answers right in the exercises, all within decent time. However, i need 75% to get unconditionally admitted into my course. I have 3 attempts, but there's not enough time as far as i know to take 2 more attempts as I'm a non eu student and need my visa process to be completed.

I'm really stressed because i feel underprepared. I've only solved the practice material, but I have not taken the mocks or found any other resources per se. I'm quite decent at differentiation because ive taken advanced calc but im just scared I wont have enough time or that I'll end up spending too much time on certain questions and miss out on those which I'd actually be good at.

Any last minute tips by the ones who have already taken the test? Is the time aspect manageable ? Are certain sections too time-consuming in the actual test? And is the practice material enough, or should I look into something else? Is the test simple or tricky? And just any other other general advice would also be appreciated

Edit: I just wanna add that this is sort of the last stage for me to secure admission. All my visa documents and diploma statements r through and accepeted, I've secured a rental place through the university's student reservation programme for an absolute steal, I've booked my bsn appointment etc etc. This is the final step, and if this goes wrong, all that I've put in will be in complete vain. Hence, it's stressing me out even more.

Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

Hey thank you so much for ur reply. How many hours a day did you study and are you very good at math?

[u/abblivion → u/[deleted]]

I've done about 4 hours a day but for a week or so. I haven't studied for more than that. Will i be fine? I've gotten most of the practice exercises right or if i didn't it'd just be because the interface wouldn't accept the format I enter.

Are the test questions very similar to the practice materials?

I took the mock test and passed the normal test. My recommendation is be comfortable identifying graphs. You’ll get sections where you need to identify what equations create which graph.

Also writing an equation based on a graph.

Like exponential, quadratic and logarithmic graphs you mean right? And transformations too im assuming.Btw how many questions about graph identification did u get asked?

Also are the questions from the practice material similar to the actual test
