Toelatingsexamen Dierenarts study plan

Map the Diergeneeskunde syllabus into a topic list and rank each topic by exam weight and personal weakness

Define anatomy and physiology of the main organ systems (heart, lungs, kidneys, digestive tract) in your own words

Build a spaced-repetition deck of at least 80 term-definition cards covering week 1 topics

Solve 20 practice questions on organ-system basics and log every error with its cause

Explain the core mechanisms of infectious disease transmission, immunity, and vaccination

Compare bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens by structure, diagnosis, and treatment principle

Review the 20 errors from week 1 and re-test only those items until 90% correct

Write short summaries of the five most exam-relevant diseases without consulting notes

Describe pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) and key drug classes used in animals

Identify the main zoonoses and explain their public-health relevance

Apply reasoning to clinical case vignettes by listing differential diagnoses and next steps

Complete a 40-question mixed Diergeneeskunde set under timed conditions

Consolidate Diergeneeskunde by re-testing every subtopic scoring below 70%

Relearn algebra fundamentals: fractions, ratios, percentages, powers, and solving linear equations

Set up and solve word problems involving dilution, dosage per body weight, and concentration

Derive and apply the rules for units and significant figures in calculations

Graph linear, quadratic, and exponential functions and read off intercepts and slopes

Solve systems of two equations and interpret the solution geometrically

Apply logarithms and exponentials to growth and decay contexts

Work through 30 mixed Wiskunde problems with a strict 2-minute-per-item limit

Compute derivatives of polynomials, products, quotients, and simple compositions

Use derivatives to find maxima, minima, and rates of change in applied contexts

Master geometry essentials: areas, volumes, Pythagoras, and trigonometric ratios

Introduce kinematics: displacement, velocity, acceleration, and their graphs

State and apply Newton's laws to free-body diagrams in one and two dimensions

Solve problems on work, energy, power, and conservation of mechanical energy

Explain pressure, buoyancy, and fluid flow with the relevant formulas

Analyse electricity basics: Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, and power dissipation

Run two full-length mock exams under real timing and mark them strictly

Review every wrong answer and classify each error as knowledge, method, or careless

Drill the three weakest subtopics across all domains until each reaches 80% accuracy

Finalise a one-page formula and fact sheet for last-day revision
