What is GAMSAT

The Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT ® ) is a standardised exam coordinated by the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) designed to ‘assess the capacity to undertake high-level intellectual studies in the medical and health professional programs’. It is a test required for applications to all but one Graduate Entry Medical course in Australia, as well as various other dentistry, optometry and podiatry courses. In essence, the exam is designed to assess your analytical and critical thinking skills as well as how you organise and communicate your ideas in order to select candidates for Graduate Entry Medical Studies.

Prepare for The GAMSAT ® Exam

GAMSAT ® Exam is made up of three sections:

  • Section 1: Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences

    47 MCQs, 70 Mins (including 6 mins reading time)This section utilises the multiple choice format and tests your interpretation and understanding of concepts in a cultural and social context. It involves responding to various different types of texts, from fiction and poetry to cartoons.

  • Section 2: Written Communication

    2 Written Responses, 65 Mins (including 5 mins reading time)The only section of the GAMSAT ® Exam that does not use the MCQ format. This section involves two 30-minute writing tasks, candidates will be expected to type their responses. For each piece of writing you are provided with a distinct set of prompts (generally quotes) that relate to a common theme to use as the basis of your response. The two pieces are usually differentiated on the basis of their focus – The first task typically deals with socio-cultural issues while the second task tends to deal with personal and social issues.
