Wink Gamsat Stuff Now Sold

EVERYTHINGS BEEN SOLD NOW! Good luck with your revision.



got a place at St Georges and so am selling all of my prep material in a desperate bid to try and get some money before September!! It's only now that I've come to sell it all that I'm actually starting to realise just how much stuff I have, so brace yourself!!


MCAT VIDEO CDROMS
Over 64 hours of video lectures covering all of the science needed for GAMSAT and making it extremely clear. They are great for anyone who hasn’t done Science since school as they make everything (even the Organic Chemistry! seem simple) There are 16 cdroms in total, (4 on each topic, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Physics, Biology) (see www.mcat-prep.com for more info) The set originally cost me about £130. I'm looking to sell for £50 and will include silver bullet. (Silver Bullet - from the same series as the CD ROMS, these are a set of 4 audio cassettes and a cd with mp3 versions, containing science revision notes (good for playing in the car!!))

Chemistry Books
Chemistry Calculations explained (rrp £10) £5

Oxford Chemistry Primers - Foundations of Organic Chemistry
Oxford Chemistry Primers - Foundations of Organic Chemistry - Worked Examples
(didn't really get round to using these as I seemed to have covered most of the material elsewhere, so will sell both for £5)

Organic Chemistry (by Clayden Greeves, Warren and Wothers) - This is a killer of textbook, (1511 pages) it is a degree level book but is very clear (£38 on amazon) looking for £20

Organic Chemistry Solutions Manual - this is 510 pages of detailed explanations to all of the questions in the main textbook. This is great if like me your not a scientist as so want to make sure that you actually understand the correct way to get to the answer and also why the wrong answers are wrong! (£25 on amazon) looking for £10

Examkrackers
1001 questions in MCAT Verbal Reasoning
1001 questions in MCAT Organic Chemistry
1001 questions in MCAT Chemistry
1001 questions in MCAT Biology
1001 questions in MCAT Physics

(Apart from the Des O Neill practice questions these are honestly the closet thing I've found to actual GAMSAT questions in terms of both style a level of difficulty. Each book has 1001 questions broken down into topic areas, so are a great resources if you want to practice questions in a particular area or just want to answer random ones to see where your weaknesses are) I paid around £100 in total for these but am looking for £50

GRADMED
I didn't attend this course but bought these off someone on the forum last year. I cant say I ever got round to using them though from flicking through they do look good, though slightly more difficult that the real thing (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!)

Section I - Simulated half papers, Questions, Answers and explanation booklet (about the answers) - x5
Section II - Sample Essays
Section III - Simulated half papers, Questions and Answers - x5

I Bought them for £90 last year so looking for about £60

ACER
Practice Questions
Sample Questions
Practice Test

Will sell all three for £15

Des O Neill
Test Prep Course - this is a fantastic course and in my opinion really makes a difference. The key to success in GAMSAT is practice, practice, practice (rather than learning, learning learning!!!) and these questions are pitched just a the right level . There are 75 pgs of humanities questions and 78 pages of science questions that are broken down into segments allowing you to focus on a particular style of question. There is also a comprehensive scoring system which helps you identify your weak areas. (I must say though that once you have identified these they recommend redoing the relevant sections again however if you're anything like me you'll just remember the answers, so I found that I did have to use the Examkrackers books to supplement this, but even so this is still a fantastic resource pitched at exactly the right level). There is also a full length practice test which is the test most similar to the real thing that I've seen (far better that ACER or GRADMED). I originally paid around £200 for this so am looking to sell for £50

Science Notes - I also have the full set Science Notes (though they are at my parents so it will be a couple of weeks until I can actually post them out) These notes are really useful if you already have some knowledge (I found them far more useful after watching the science cdroms than before!) Again looking for £100



Right, I think that’s about it! I can also throw in hard copy of Med Prep paper, a set of sample GAMSAT essay questions (from GRADMED) and the electronic GAMSAT Griffiths file, plus some random MPW books on etting int omed school for anyone who's interested. I'm in London so am happy to meet anyone to deliver / collect anything (as they will cost a fortune to post, but am happy to negotiate postage and post them if not) I could also deliver to anywhere around Birmingham or Leicester over the next few weeks, as I will be going there to visit friends. Also if anyone can collect and wants the whole lot I'll sell you absolutely everything for £300


Thanks
J
