This was so so useful and your "ramble" so to say about the writing question gave me great insight into how to really tackle those essays. Thanks so much for this video!
Hello, such a helpful video, could you possible make another one that is more in-depth for someone who’s just starting ☺️? I was also wondering how long you practiced for the GAMSAT.
Hi lovely, thank you so much for the comment! I definitely can! I've sat the gamsat more than once so I'm not really sure how to comment on how long I've practiced for but if you're wondering whether or not you should give sept a go, I highly recommend - even if you don't feel that you've prepared enough! The best prep is definitely sitting the actual exam!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm starting revision for the GAMSAT and am struggling with the question types for section I and II - but this video definitely gave me some tips to help tackle them! x I was wondering if you offer any sort of tutoring for students? (I'm from the UK) xx
heyy I was wondering where you got the Des O Neil book? I can’t seem to find them! Great video, it was super informative for students aspiring to be medics in australia ✨💕 thank you :)
Lovely! Thank you! Aside from ACER, what other practice tests have you found closely resemble the GAMSAT (i.e gold standard, fraser's, acegamsat, etc..)?
Thank you so much for the feedback!! What vids would you find useful? And yes I do! DM me on insta! @hanfrazer or send me an email at hanfrazer01@gmail.com!! 💕
Hey Hannah great video, very informative and helpful! Just wanting to ask, I am from a NSB and have revised the basics of the sciences for S3. In that regard do you think that just being familiar with the basics of the science theory is enough for S3 as it assesses problem solving and reasoning more? And also do you have any tips on improving for S1? :) thanks!!
Hey Joseph, thank you very much for your kind words! I think there are a few key concepts you definitely want to make sure you have a grasp of as a NSB (e.g. motion equations and how a punnett square works). But once you feel you have that I'd personally just focus on practice questions. I find that most required knowledge has been included in S3 in the recent gamsats so whilst studying more theory may help you read through that faster, it isn't necessarily the best use of time if you're coming very close to your exam because you still have to then put that information together to answer the question! Section one is a tough one! Definitely the more practice the better. If you can get your hands on any logical reasoning practice questions (not necessarily for gamsat) that's great for S1! Try and find practice questions with explanations in the answers - I personally found these helped me the most with S1 because it shows you what to look for and why other answers are incorrect!! I really find reading the solutions helped me improve this section heaps! Hope that helps :) Good luck!!
How many times have you taken the GAMSAT? I’ve come from a psychology background and it’s not full of science but I’ve always wanted to be a doctor but not sure if I should try but your video made me a little calmer lol !!
Hi Hannah, Thanks for posting such an informative video, great video, and helpful! Can you suggest any online website to practice GAMSAT questions? Thanks for your help in advance.
For section two, are you more likely to get two topics in one for example what you mentioned, population control as a means of tackling climate change, rather than say just the environment? You still get the five quotes right? Also what was the other essay topic you got? Sorry for all the questions but appreciate it!
You get five quotes per essay and the quotes generally cover more than one topic i.e. they're all related to one general theme but they're each slightly different so you do end up with a very broad scope to write from. I don't remember the other topic for that specific year but in the past I've gotten topics like celebrity culture and whether or not celebrities have a responsibility to act as role models because they have so much attention, animal nature, imagination ( all I can remember off the top of my head right now). But if you can get your hands on the ACER practice qs, they're a very accurate representation of what you can expect! Hope this helps!
Hi Hanfrazer. Thanks for sharing your gamsat experience. That is really impressive and helpful. I would like to confirm the examcracker series you mentioned in the video especially for non science background student. Although it looks prep materials for MCAT, would that work for the Gamsat preparation especially when non science background students want to have basic science knowledge to go further preparation? Thanks again for your help.
Hi Jane! I first sat GAMSAT in my second year of undergrad (2015) and last sat GAMSAT last year (2019) - in total 6 times! I got 68 in my first sit and consistently in the 70s in my last couple of sits. I got a little bit sidetracked on my goal of med after my undergrad and dabbled with research for a bit but always wanted to keep that door open for myself just in case - and here I am!
Those are the only practice tests I used but if I felt I wanted further practice questions for a specific area then I looked at exam krackers and the KAPLAN series for MCAT!
Hello Hanfrazer, I just discovered your channel. Really great content. I was wondering though, did you only use the resources you mentioned? No additional resources by other companies e.g. Fraser, Gold standard etc? Also how many months/days of pracitse did you do if you don't mind sharing that? Thank you very much in advance
Could you please tell me which examcracker textbooks you mentioned in the video for non science background student? Are those MCAT biology 1 and 2, chemistry and physics 11th edition?
Is there any truth to the claim here that scoring better than average in the last few questions puts you in a higher percentile than scoring better than average in any other group of questions? That sounds insane to me.
I would imagine that with the online exam the position of a given question would vary between applicants, so the above would no longer be true (if it ever was)
@@danielsweeney932 good point to bring up about the online format! But if the position of a given question varies between applicants, would it be unfair in a situation where applicant A did not get to come across the "heavier weighted" question as this question was positioned towards the end of his exam (and he runs out of time) vs. an applicant who comes across the heavier weighted question earlier in the exam?
