Hey! So, I’ve got a big question for you… Why is doing a trial GAMSAT a bad idea? I get this a lot. A lot of people do it as a trial just to get a feel for the exam, to see what it’s like and that is a terrible and unfortunately a bad idea […]

A lot of people say, ‘Oh, you can’t study for Section 1. You kind of just have to know it’. Well, that’s not true. They say, ‘I’ll read widely and then fingers crossed something will work’ – and that is one of my pet peeves! The whole reading widely thing, it’s a waste of […]

I don’t like it. I don’t like the name. It sounds bad. And it’s very dramatic. That’s what people are calling the GEMSAS email telling you that you didn’t get an interview this year. But that’s how you feel when you see it in your inbox. I feels like the whole year’s effort is gone. […]

“I hate Poetry! It’s the hardest part of Section 1. The language is difficult. I don’t understand the poems, the terms and words used.” This is a common response I hear when I ask people about the hardest aspects of section 1. You don’t have much time to answer the section 1 questions. So […]

The GAMSAT has evolved over the past 9 years that I’ve been following it. And every year it’s slightly different. What’s been happening recently is that passages about doctors and written by doctors have been appearing in Section 1. But these aren’t the interesting Buzzfeed-style articles you’re used to reading online. We’re talking about […]

Many people say to me, “I have a GPA over 5 so I will get an interview if my GAMSAT is above the minimum score.” Or “I will be considered for an interview because my GPA or GAMSAT is above the hurdle mark.” That’s wrong. It doesn’t work that way. Just because your GPA or […]
