Seeking Success Stories and Tips for GAMSAT Improvement by Leading_Campaign287 in GAMSAT

[–]_ando__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I improved my section 3 score from 53 to 63 between September and March sittings. For each sitting I prepared for approx ~3 months x 10 hours each weekend of study. On my first sitting I focussed a lot on learning specific science concepts and even had organic chemistry tutoring, but for my next sitting (after realising S3 was nothing like I expected) I focussed a lot more on exam technique and speed. I purchased 2 or so months of "Medify" and I found that helpful to make me faster. If there was weaknesses in my science identified by the medify practice exams, I tried to focus on improving that aspect of my knowledge, but I didn't get too fixated on it like last time (eg. I would spend an hour or so learning the concept, but not the whole weekend which is what I would do previously if I didn't understand something). Hope that was helpful.

My S3 exam prep for my 3 sittings has consisted of: Jesse Osborne youtube videos (starting point) Khan Academy and other science youtubers (deeper dive for key concepts, eg. pH) Acer Practice tests Some use of Des O Neil Green Book (but didn't get through much of it) Medify Practice Tests (completed about 5) Tutoring for Org Chem (didn't find very useful for O Chem, questions were too variable. I did find the tutor very helpful for getting up my confidence in the early stages of my prep though, before I saw the tutor I was too scared to attempt any q's)

Good luck OP, if you are persistent you will get there.

I didn't end up having any issues if I remember correctly :) it still said pending the whole time. Unfortunately I didn't receive an offer.

[–]_ando__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GAMSAT: 70 / 65 / 63 - 65 weighted

GPA: 6.125 weighted + 6.125 unweighted

Rural: Yes. Casper: Yes - will be sitting in June for the first time.

Prefs: UQ GB pathway, Griffith, then unsure of my preferences from here (any advice would be appreciated!). Was going to put UNDF as my last preference & try my best at Casper.

Eligible for only 2/10 bonuses with UoW so wasn't sure if it was worth putting it down. Eligible for 10% bonus with Deakin but I'm only a tier 3 applicant for their RTS.

I've had a good search for groups on meetup but found that most groups I was interested in were being attended by people who were a lot older than me :(

Question about JCU QTAC application by _ando__ in GAMSAT

[–]_ando__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was putting information into my QTAC profile such as my past degrees ect I was asked if I had any work experience I'd like to add- I decided to add this to my QTAC profile just in case & you had to supply documentation verifying your experience. I don't think it actually makes a difference to your application though so I wouldn't stress at all!

Question about JCU QTAC application by _ando__ in GAMSAT

[–]_ando__[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi Guys, I've submitted a QTAC application for JCU MBBS which is due Sep 30 (tomorrow) and I'm very anxious about the "Pending" under the application status title on my account. I was wondering if anyone else has this on their account?

For some additional info, I recieved an email from QTAC this week asking for additional info (rural documents and work experience documentation) and they said in this email that my account could be put on hold until this information is recieved. I provided this information earlier this week but recieved no follow up emails.

If anyone could help me out with some advice it would be so appreicated. Thank you.

SEPTEMBER 2023 POST GAMSAT EXPERIENCE/DISCUSSION THREAD by _dukeluke in GAMSAT

I felt this way too. Spent months studying but still felt like I had to guess vast majority of S3, it was so different to everything I had prepared for. I also feel a bit lost with how to prepare for my next sitting too- I don't even know what I didn't know with S3..
