I assume you'll be sitting it in September, not May ?
Unfortunately, I don't have any good tips except start revising now and stick to your usual revision process

Hi!
I am going to be doing my GAMSAT test this September and have no idea where to get my revision materials from? I saw Des O'Neill's books but they are sooooo expensive on eBay. Also the Gold books.
How did you guys revise for the exam? I need to start my revision as soon as possible and have no idea where to start from.

I'm looking at sitting the GAMSAT exam next September but I have no science background, i.e didnt take science a levels and I'm doing a humanities degree atm.
I've already revised a bit of A-level chem, bio and phys stuff for a basic understanding..but for science minded people or those in my position, where the hell should I start?
All advice welcome. On track for a first in my degree and had AAA at A-level.
Thanks!!!

Hey!
I am probably going to be doing my GAMSAT test this March and I am just stuck as to which is the best study material. I have Des o neil's book with acers test papers. When I look at the amount of I have to do for the science section(btw I am from a non-science background, I am on my second year of LLB) it gets me extremely stressed. It is just toooo much to cover.
Can someone tell me any alternatives or how to quick study through the science stuff?

Does anybody know when registration for the September sitting of the UK GAMSAT opens? Can't seem to find any recent/new information, since before the Coronavirus situation arose. Thanks in advance.

Is it worth doing the GAMSAT or should I just do the UKCAT? I'm unsure if to bother with the GAMSAT as it is a lot more work than the UKCAT and I'm unsure if it is worth it. It seems like it is harder to get good marks in the GAMSAT. Any opinions or advice?

I am so completely overwhelmed about where to start studying for the GAMSAT! I am currently in my 2nd year of a sport sciences degree with a biology a-level. I plan to apply in around 2022/23.
Any advice? I've been thinking about tutors etc but can't seem to find any with good reputations and also any materials? I've been able to find loads for the UCAT but the GAMSAT is a completely different story!

Heyyya! I am in the same boat as u. Try to find the topics which u need to revise for first. And then spend a month or 2 learning all the basic knowledge of all the sciences( don't forget physics). Once u know the basic sciences which will take u very long time, go on to doing lots and lots of practice. Use des o neils. I have heard they r very good. If u need any help feel free to message me. I am planning to do mine as soon as I do my Ucat test this summer. Dont want to overwhelm myself with ucat, uni work and gamsat. I will be sitting the march test hopefully.

Hey guys has anyone use the online course offered by the gold standard. It’s the cheapest one I’ve found at £59 but I’m not sure I want to spent that much on something that may not be all that great. Anyone used any? I am already using a level books etc
