The GAMSAT is unlike any other exam that students have completed during their undergraduate studies. The focus is on analytical skills rather than the memorisation of core concepts. Further, unless you completed a combined degree in English literature and Science, it’s likely that you may need to put in a few extra hours for either sections I and II or section III. Below are the key mistakes that students often make when preparing for the GAMSAT.

Mistake 1: Starting too late

There is lots of content to learn and revise for section III. Further, you must practice applying your theoretical knowledge in MCQs. This is a skill that is developed and improved over time. The more practice you get, the faster and better you will become. Thus, start your preparation early.

Mistake 2: Ignoring sections I and II

Medicine and dentistry may be science degrees however two-thirds of the GAMSAT is clearly not science. Regardless of how high you score in section III, your overall score will likely suffer if you do not perform well in the humanities sections. Thus, put just as much effort, if not more, into sections I and II.

Mistake 3: Not studying physics

Competition for medicine and dentistry is tough. One or a few marks in the GAMSAT may be the difference between being awarded a spot vs. completely missing out. These difficult areas are what separates the best from the rest. Maximise your chances of success by studying all of the topics covered in the exam – including physics. To check the minimum GAMSAT cut off scores, click below:
