“Students can take their admission test online safely proctored, anywhere and anytime throughout the year.” A preparation course and mock exams complement the real exams to help students be even better prepared. These certified tests, compiled with the help of experts in higher education, effectively assess students’ math competency and assist universities in evaluating whether students are eligible for enrolment. OMPT currently offers six ready-made admission exams and can (co-)design an exam that would match university-specific admission requirements. All required is a computer or laptop with a webcam and an internet connection. When students are redirected to OMPT, they can choose their own test location, date and time. OMPT offers online proctored mathematics tests and accompanying digital preparation materials.
SC EDU MATH PLACEMENT TEST OFFLINE
OMPT(Online Mathematics Placement Test) was designed by SOWISO as an alternative to offline tests. The placement was organised in partnership with three Dutch universities ( Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Maastricht University, and Amsterdam University College) and students could take it any time between from April to August 2018. We would now like to give more details regarding the test and share our insights on the summer pilot. The ongoing pandemic has made these options even less viable because of the many health risks related to offline exams, many governments are pushing for exams to be taken digitally. Whether organised by universities or outsourced to third parties, all of these options are costly, resource-intensive, and time-consuming. When admissions offices cannot recognise foreign diplomas or certificates, students can be denied, redirected to offline admissions tests, summer courses, or put into a foundation year. However, it’s not always easy to define whether an international applicant meets these requirements from an admissions perspective. Programs such as Economics, Business Administration, Engineering and Computer Science all require some mathematics level. In many cases, it is not immediately clear if these students have the required mathematics level to succeed in their chosen studies. The influx of prospective university students has become increasingly international and diverse. Since then, OMPT has evolved and grown exponentially. This blog post was written in 2018, when we founded OMPT and conducted this pilot.
