The Guru Method GAMSAT Preparation Blog

Holy hell with your numbers guys! I'm in Perth and I reckon there were 400 people though I'm not sure.

I thought Section 3 was harder than I was expecting I had to guess 10 questions there. The other two sections though were pretty good, I finished Section 1 with about 10 minutes and finished the essays with about 20 minutes spare.

Sec 3 really was a doozy for me

SECTION 1

I found it much harder than expected!! I managed to narrow most down to 2 possible answers and jsut guessed from there... Still, managed to finish with about 2 mins to go

SECTION 2

the topics were fairly broad and okay, but given the time, I didn't write as well as I probably could have.......

SECTION 3

Easier than I thought it would be.... but still really hard to tell. I JUST managed to finish with about 30 seconds to go !!

I was in Sydney at Redfern too. The number there was insane! I'd guess a couple of thousand? Were there 2 Sydney exam centres?

I found section 1 very hard and made the beginners mistake of taking too long on the questions to make sure I had them right. About 2/3 of the way through I looked at the clock and was still only half way. Then I panicked. If I had managed my time better I could have added at least another 10 marks. I just hope others struggled with this too so I can get 50 ...

Section 2 I was worried about but I managed to write (hopefully) coherent essays and managed my time properly.

Section 3 I managed my time well until I got bogged down on some organic chem questions towards the end. Finished all units except the last one. It was pretty tough but doable.

So, it was my first time at GAMSAT (non-science background, 6 weeks prep).

Section I
Difficult, but doable. I didn't have time to complete all the questions, so I guessed "C" for about the remaining 20% of questions.

Section II
Okay... Topics were a bit boring! Pumped out three pages on each.

Section III
Mayday! I answered about 55% of questions, guessed "C" for the rest. Didn't even attempt the org chemistry stuff. Even things I felt I knew drained too much time out of me

So all in all, I think I will be back next year.

PS: it is crazy how many people sit GAMSAT!! At least a thousand? During section II I needed to go to the bathroom so bad, I had a backache and couldn't concertrate!

the essay questions were fairly essay to write.... i guese... but no wonder i couldn't finish my essay... section A was about telecommunication and section B was about the your reflective image... can't remember exact questions~

Really want to do the next GAMSAT. I'm a bit worried about the essay section though, not one of my strengths! Were they difficult topics this year?

this was my first GAMSAT Exam and I ran out of time for every section and i realize that i do not have time to think about the question.... just read question and answers and BANG~! that's how I have to go through entire exam... The exam was just designed for people who can think simultaneously. Like people who can write and think and read different thing on same time... haha that's was it.....
and I realize that Biochemistry bit was fairly easy to solve and there was no 3D (Stereo). easy physics. yeah~ that's about it....
I will try again next year.... i didn't have enough time to prepare...

How is the GAMSAT this year? Is everything alright? Is there any surprise in the exam today?

On the plus side, your SI and SII scores were good.

Nearly every case I have heard, people do better the second time round.

Hi everyone,

I'm sitting the GAMSAT for the second time, I sat it once last year.

Last year I got scores of 58, 58 and 46....

Seeing as I failed the last section, my score didn't count!! I'm hoping to do better this year.

Has anyone else sat the GAMSAT twice and done exceptionally better their second time around...? Just need a little hope that's all !!

Cheers.
