I've got the following books for sale that I used to prepare for GAMSAT chemistry:
AS level chemistry revision guide published by CGP
Calculations in AS/A level chemistry by Jim Clark published by Longman
I used the first one to get me back into chemistry (arts grad, last did chem 16 years before GAMSAT). It is v useful on electron structure, inonisation energies, bonding, enthalpy, entropy, reaction rates, aci/base, organic (isomers/alkanes/alkenes/alcohols/alkene reactions).
The second one was particularly useful for redox reactions/oxidation states/titrations/orders of reaction/rate/experiments/effect of temp on rates/equilibria/pH/pKa/solubility products/redox reactions/use of Eo to predict feasibility of reactions, Gibbs Free Energy, DG=Dh-TDS etc.
All of these subjects came up in GAMSAT when I sat it. Questions not covered by these books that came up in the exam were of the problem solving type (i.e. no prior knowledge required). These books got me a decent enough score as an arts grad in the dreaded Section 3 to get interviews. If they can get an arts grad like me to get my head round it, these books are ideal for GAMSAT!!
Looking to sell, please just take them off me, I'm not even looking for 20 quid, just a decent home for them to go to and a tiny bit of dosh!! Please send me a private message or email me at
nick_ord@yahoo.com if interested.
Good luck with your preparation for GAMSAT!
