GAMSAT Preparation Time

When preparing for a test as daunting and as important as the GAMSAT, one of the most important questions is how much time should be dedicated towards preparing for the big day?

The preparation time needed for the GAMSAT varies drastically between each individual depending on what course background you come from as well as your ability to learn and retain information. Some individuals start preparation years before the exam, where others may spend just a few months, even weeks! However the bottom line is that it is truly never too late to start!

If you’ve just started your GAMSAT prep, we highly recommend that you download our Free GAMSAT Mock Exam.

A steady paced preparation starting around six months prior to the exam allows ample time to approach the content in a systematic manner and is always a good place to start. If you were to leave all the GAMSAT preparation until a few weeks prior to the exam, there would be plenty of panic involved alongside your chaotic preparation. However it is also important to note that it is the efficiency that ultimately matters, and if you are someone who learns much better under a stressful situation, then perhaps you would gain more out of the last month of intensive revision rather than a slow paced study period over six months.

Lastly, it is not just the GAMSAT preparation time, rather it is the approach that also determines how successful your preparation can be. Large amount of time spent rote learning physics formulas or writing long aimless essays are time wasted that could be put to better use. Before dedicating large blocks of GAMSAT preparation time into study, you need to work out your weaknesses, what can be improved on, set a goal for yourself and methods of reaching that goal efficiently before undertaking any tasks.

So what are you waiting for? Start planning for your GAMSAT preparation time now!

Good luck,
