End of Feb/early March. Last year it was a few days earlier than we'd be told, IIRC.
I'd guess unis are sent the results at the same time, possibly just a day or so before we get them?
So within two weeks we'll know our fate. Not that I'm counting, obviously.

Hi jonny
How did your interview go for Swansea? I will be applying for next year.Could you tell me what type of questions they asked, which would be a great help if i`m selected for interview.
Cheers
Mark

I've done the same with the Gamsat Scores for 2006 - again, they use a pretty weird scale so it's quite approximate in parts and I've rounded it all up so, if you don't see your score on it, je suis désolé

The cutoff point this year for most GAMSAT unis was 63 (same as 2005). According to the graph, that's the top 28% (if they'd gone for 64, it would have only been 24%) so they seem to be sticking to the top 25% to get an interview theory.Last edited by nikopol; 09-03-2006 at 08:32 PM.

Quote from UCAS booklet 2006:
"To be considered for an interview for admission to the GEP at st Georges and Nottingham, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 55 in section II, and 55 in either section I or III"

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if you could help me out with a GAMSAT question. I haven't studied any science past GCSE - for which I got CC. I am way more confidant of my capability now, so what standard do you think I will have to be up to in order to be successful? I've done some research but some sources are saying A-level science and others are saying degree!
could anyone help?

Hi everyone,
The the physics is definitely only A-level standard, not degree level.The Chemistry(Organic Chemistry or Biochemistry) is 1st Year Degree Level (slightly and only slightly more advanced than A(or A2)-level Chemistry same with the biology. The difference between 1st year degree biology/chemistry and A-level is that it the concepts in A-level are discussed in more depth.
If you revise all the all the A-level topics in more depth it should be fine.
P.S. please correct me if I am wrong.
Truth, Justice ....and well everything else.

It will give you a feel of the level of the questions and also the style of the exam.
I have started a thread about forming study groups. If you want to, you can post a thread asking if people in/near your area who are studying for GAMSAT wish to form a study group with you. At least that way you can get help with what is required if you feel lost on where to start. Good luck!!

Can someone make on of these graphs for this years one? Thanks

I've had a go using the cumulative distribution function (cdf) curve they provided. I've amalgamated the scores at the top and bottom because they're very difficult to make any accurate estimate of. As it stands the graph is my best-guess based on the information I have (i.e. the cdf curve from ACER).
