Sorry just realised I didn’t divide by 2 before multiplying by 5 - I get the same answer as you I’d guess its a misprint!

Thank you! That makes me feel better, I thought I was doing something wrong

OMG I'M SO MAD. I was scheduled to do the exam this afternoon and i was doing it for 20 mins or so then the proctor decided to disconnect. i waited MORE THAN 3 HOURS and even called the US office to get it fixed, and they got a diff proctor but when they finally got me back onto the exam, it said that my time ran out and they submitted what I've done (barely half of the exam). So i just sent an email to gamsat asking if i can reschedule. I've seen on reddit that there are some people who were able to schedule and some people who weren't.... and I'm quite worried ahh....

Oh gosh I’m so sorry this has happened to you! I’ve seen a few people had issues like this on facebook but they have managed to get it rescheduled. The only rule ACER have said to them (apparently, I haven’t seen this myself) is that S1/S2 still has to be done within that testing week. I’m sure it will all get sorted, try not to stress!!

Has anyone done the may gamsat test yet? If yes, what tips do you have for the people sitting it in September?

My biggest tip would be to start early - a little goes a long way.

In relation to section 1;
read a lot from a wide range of sources to get used to reading different writing styles. This will make it so much easier (poetry, philosophy, plays, fiction, newspapers etc... there’s also a recommended reading list).

In relation to section 2;
just practise practice practice! Even if you only practise formulating plans surrounding different comments to begin with, it’ll train your mind to do this quicker.

In relation to section 3;
do loads of GAMSAT style Qs. The GAMSAT doesn’t test your ability to regurgitate knowledge, but your application of that knowledge, so be familiar with how they do this.

Typically opens after results from the previous sitting are released so I’d expect early July this year

Hey guys, not sure if anyone would be able to give me some advice. I got 57.75 an overall for my second year of law which is a 2:2. I want to apply for the 2021 sitting of medicine. When applying with my predicted grade, will they ask for a refrence from ur lecturer to back up my predicted grade? I really want to do medicine as early as possible. And I am stuck cause my module leader is very stingy. He will not give me a 2:1 predicted grade. I can only get 1 refrence of lecturer who will predict me a 2:1. But she is my ex lecturer. She taught me 2 modules back

Hi

I’m an international Medical Sciences undergraduate studying in UK and wish to apply for graduate entry medicine for September 2021 entry. I realised that the last GAMSAT exam accounted for September 2021 entry ended with the March sitting. I want to know if I can still apply for 2021 entry if I sit the September sitting?

Thank you

You can yes - you just wont know your score before you submit your UCAS applications.
