Section 2 GAMSAT Layout
Section 2 is called the written communication section. For this section, students are required to write two essays within 60 minutes. There is 5 minutes reading time. There are two essay tasks – Task A and Task B. For each essay task students are given 5 quotes that surround a common theme. It is important to know the basics of GAMSAT essay writing for this section. Check out the post below to learn more:
Task A should be written as a more argumentative essay as the quotes deal with sociocultural issues.
