OMPT study planner
A plan you print and pin beats one that lives in a tab you never reopen. Tell me the test and the date; I will spread the syllabus over the weeks you have left, front-loading foundations and keeping the timed work near the exam.
Pick your variant and exam date and I'll lay the OMPT-A syllabus across the weeks you actually have, with drill links for each phase.

How to use your OMPT study plan
Every plan the tool builds has the same skeleton, whatever the variant: four phases in a fixed order. Numbers and algebra first, then equations and functions, then the chapters that belong to your letter alone (trigonometry and integration on the B and D, probability on the E, mechanics and chemistry on the G), and finally full-length timed papers with error review. The order is not negotiable, because each phase is built on the one before it. A student who starts with integration because it looks scary usually loses more marks to the algebra inside the integrals than to the integration itself.
What the date changes is how much room each phase gets. With four weeks you get one week per phase. With eight, each phase gets two, and the plan labels them: a first pass to learn the material properly and untimed, then a final pass where everything is against the clock. The later phases are given any spare weeks first, because time near the exam is worth more than time far from it; a week of timed papers in the last fortnight moves a score further than the same week spent on fractions in month one. With fewer than four weeks the phases are merged rather than dropped, so the foundations week never quietly disappears, and at two weeks or under the plan switches to intensive mode and stops pretending there is slack.
Each row lists the topics for that phase with a link to its drill page. Work them in the order shown, and treat a drill as finished when you can clear a timed set at your variant’s real pace, not when you have read the lesson. Reading feels like progress and is not. The pace to aim for is on the tests page: 2.3 minutes a question on OMPT-B, four on the C, over eight on the D. Once a week, whatever the phase says, sit something timed: a drill set early on, the free mini-mock in the middle weeks, a full paper at the end.
The last phase is where most students shortcut, and it is the one that decides the result. Two full papers, three days apart, sat in one go with a timer. After each, spend as long on the review as on the sitting: rework every miss untimed, then run the average through the score estimator. Book the official slot when it says comfortable. If it says borderline with a week to spare, the fix is one more paper and a day on the chapter that produced the most misses, not new theory.
What the planner assumes
- Weeks left are counted from today on your device to the date you enter, rounded up, so a plan made on a Wednesday for a Monday exam counts that partial week as a full one.
- The four phases and their topic lists come from the variant data on each test’s hub page; the planner distributes them, it does not invent them. Topics are split across phases in syllabus order.
- Two weeks or fewer: intensive mode, phases folded into the weeks that exist. Three weeks: neighbouring phases merged. Four to twelve weeks: phases expanded, later phases first. More than twelve: a runway block, then the detailed plan over the final eight weeks.
- It assumes you sit the free mini-mock before week one and again at the end; it does not assume you buy anything. The full-paper phase works with any full-length timed paper, ours or the provider’s.
- It does not know your starting level, your hours, or your programme’s cutoff. Those three decide whether the plan is enough, and the estimator and your free-mock result are how you check.
Questions about the planner
OMPT study planner questions
How many hours a week does the plan assume?
It does not fix a number, because the honest figure depends on how recently you did this maths. omptest.org's own totals are roughly 80 hours for OMPT-A or F, 100 for B, 40 for C, and 120 for D, E and G. Divide the total for your variant by the weeks you have: a four-week OMPT-A plan is twenty hours a week, which is a part-time job. If that is not realistic, pick a later date rather than a thinner plan.
I have not booked yet. What date should I enter?
The date you would book if the plan says you are ready. Pick something realistic, generate the plan, and look at the weekly load. If it reads like a full-time job, push the date. Remember that slots must be booked at least 72 hours ahead and results take about eight business days, so leave that gap between your target date and the university's deadline.
Two weeks left. Is the intensive plan realistic?
For OMPT-A, C or F with recent school maths, yes, if you actually start today and work daily. For B, D, E or G, or after years away from maths, two weeks usually gets you to borderline rather than comfortable. Sit the free mini-mock first; if it comes back at risk, ask your programme whether a later slot is possible before you commit the fee.
Why does a three-month plan start with 'runway' weeks?
Because peaking early is a real failure mode. Students who cram in month one and coast in month three arrive at the sitting slower than they were six weeks earlier. The planner keeps the structured eight weeks nearest the exam and asks only for one light session a week before that: enough to keep old material from rusting and to notice which topics feel shaky.
What if I fall behind the plan?
Regenerate it with today's date and let it compress; do not try to catch up by doubling a week. The planner will merge phases rather than drop them, so foundations never silently fall off the end. If it has become intensive and the free mock still says at risk, that is the moment to talk to admissions about a later date.
Can I print or save the plan?
Yes: the print button hides the controls and keeps the plan, so it fits on one or two pages. Nothing is saved on our side, and there is no account. If you want it later, print to PDF or come back and regenerate it; with the same variant and date the plan is identical.
