Which admissions test to submit for GEM @ Swansea.

Basically submitted this exact question in the big GEM thread. Self explanatory as per title: I've applied to Swansea, and they have you choose whether to be judged on UCAT or GAMSAT results.

I'm honestly not sure which is better for me to submit, as they compare your results to the group of people who've applied with each test.

My UCAT results were overall 2450, VR 880, DM 690, QR 880, with Band 2 StJ. For the GAMSAT I got overall 73, with 71 in Humanities, 70 in the written, and 76 in the Bio/Phys section.

If anyone has a better understanding of the tests in general, does it make a difference which test I choose to submit? If so, which is a better bet?

I can't speak for the GAMSAT but your UCAT score was above the majority for last year, it would definitely have got you an interview. Look on post 327 (post numbers visible on PC, not phone) of the 'which medical school should I apply to thread', it has a sample of applicant's stats from last year and you should be able to work it out from there.
