Toelatingsexamen Tandarts study plan
Toelatingsexamen Tandarts · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Kennis in de Wetenschappen (KIW)
Map every KIW subtopic (physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics) against a self-rated confidence score from 1 to 5
Solve a timed 40-question mixed KIW diagnostic under exam conditions and record raw scores per subtopic
Build a one-page formula and definition sheet for mechanics and electricity from memory, then correct it against a textbook
Schedule three fixed 2-hour study blocks per week in a calendar and protect them from work conflicts
Your checkpoint
A diagnostic score table listing per-subtopic accuracy percentages plus a dated weekly study calendar
Kennis in de Wetenschappen (KIW)
Derive and apply the core mechanics equations (Newton's laws, work, energy, momentum) to at least 30 practice problems
Explain in writing how pressure, buoyancy, and fluid flow behave in biological and dental contexts
Convert between units and significant figures without errors across 20 mixed calculation items
Log every wrong answer with the underlying concept gap rather than the correct letter
Your checkpoint
An error log of at least 25 mechanics and fluids mistakes, each tagged with the concept it tests
Kennis in de Wetenschappen (KIW)
Apply Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, and power formulas to 25 circuit problems
Describe wave properties, sound, and optics qualitatively and calculate refraction and lens problems
Connect acid-base chemistry, pH, and buffer behavior to saliva and enamel demineralization
Rehearse recalling the periodic table trends and key reaction types without notes
Your checkpoint
A two-page summary sheet covering electricity, waves, optics, and acid-base chemistry, written from memory and then corrected
Kennis in de Wetenschappen (KIW)
Explain cell structure, membrane transport, and enzyme kinetics in your own words to an imagined listener
Diagram DNA replication, transcription, and translation and label each step from memory
Apply Mendelian and probability reasoning to 20 genetics problems
Relate hormone action and homeostasis to oral and systemic health examples
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn biology concept map linking cells, genetics, and homeostasis, plus a scored set of 20 genetics problems
Kennis in de Wetenschappen (KIW) & Generieke Competenties (GC)
Complete a full-length timed KIW mock and compare per-subtopic accuracy with the week 1 diagnostic
Interpret tables, graphs, and experimental setups quickly by practicing 15 data-interpretation items under a time limit
Practice restating a scientific passage's main claim and evidence in two sentences
Identify the three weakest KIW subtopics and rank them for targeted review
Your checkpoint
A mock exam report showing per-subtopic accuracy, a comparison to week 1, and a ranked list of the three weakest subtopics
Generieke Competenties (GC)
Analyze ethical dilemma scenarios by naming the conflicting values and justifying a position in writing
Summarize argument structures (premise, conclusion, hidden assumption) across 15 short texts
Draft structured answers to communication and professionalism scenarios using a clear situation-action-result format
Practice identifying logical fallacies in sample reasoning passages and explain each flaw
Your checkpoint
Five written scenario responses, each under 250 words, with a self-review checklist of argument quality
Generieke Competenties (GC)
Rehearse situational judgment responses aloud within a strict time limit to build fluency
Compare your written scenario answers with a rubric of clarity, empathy, and justification and revise the two weakest
Practice summarizing numerical and verbal data into a short recommendation
Review week 2 to 5 error logs and re-solve the ten most frequent mistakes
Your checkpoint
A revised portfolio of three scenario answers plus a re-solved set of ten previously missed items with correct reasoning
Kennis in de Wetenschappen (KIW) & Generieke Competenties (GC)
Simulate the full exam twice under real timing and record scores for both domains
Review only logged errors and weak subtopics, avoiding new material
Consolidate formula, definition, and scenario-response templates onto two final review sheets
Plan exam-day logistics including timing strategy and rest breaks
Your checkpoint
Two full mock scores with a final one-page strategy sheet listing timing rules and top five personal pitfalls
Milestones
Week 2: Mechanics and fluids error log has at least 25 entries and you can solve 8 of 10 fresh mechanics items correctly
Week 4: Biology concept map is complete from memory and genetics practice scores at least 75 percent
Week 5: Full KIW mock shows measurable improvement over the week 1 diagnostic in at least three subtopics
Week 6: Five scenario responses each meet the clarity, empathy, and justification checklist
Week 8: Both full mocks are completed within time limits and the final strategy sheet is written
