For Sale: Complete Gamsat Prep Package
FOR SALE: COMPLETE GAMSAT PREP PACKAGE
Complete GAMSAT preparation including Des O'Neill notes, books INCLUDING NEARLY 2000 SAMPLE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS!!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE:IT&ih=009
GAMSAT preparation is really tough - you need a score of at least 62 to get considered for interview but the majority of people don't reach near this. Some people say it is an entirely aptitude based exam- this is NOT TRUE- without a solid understanding of the fundamental basis of degree level Chemistry and Biology and A-level Physics you won't be quick enough to recognise the questions. The key to success is to be familiar with the concepts and then PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!
This listing contains practically everything you could imagine for GAMSAT preparation. It includes:
CD ROMS:
16 x CD roms covering Organic chemistry, basic chemistry, physics, biology. Also 4 x audio CD for you to play in the car. These are EXCELLENT at giving an overview of the basic underlying concepts or for refreshing your memory. They are actually intended for the US MCAT exam which is as hard as (if not harder) than GAMSAT so these make for EXCELLENT PREPARATION.
NOTES AND QUESTIONS:
This listing includes:
ACER GAMSAT STUDY:
ACER Practice Questions booklet (recommended on the GAMSAT website)
ACER Sample Questions booklet (recommended on the GAMSAT website)
ACER GAMSAT full practice test (recommended on the GAMSAT website)
Des O'Neill Preparation: SECTION 1: HUMANITIES REASONING
These papers take you through a step by step process to successful verbal reasoning for the humanities questions. It gives about 400 questions for you to work through identified by the 'type' of question (so you can find your weakest spots) and has 5 half past-papers. These are considerably harder than the real GAMSAT so are REALLY good preparation to make sure you get a high score.
Des O'Neill Preparation: SECTION 2: ESSAY WRITING
Has over 100 sample quotes for you to practice on as well as 12 example essays and many more critiqued essays with markers comments. Full set of notes to teach you the approach to effective expository and discursive essay writing.
Des O'Neill Preparation: SECTION 3: SCIENCE
GENERAL BIOLOGY (Cells, cellular structure, fluid mosaic model, DNA and RNA, Protein synthesis, mitosis and meiosis, cellular respiration, cellular metabolism, photosynthesis, embryogenesis, enzymes, genetics, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses, parasites)
HUMAN BIOLOGY (Musculoskeletal system; digestive system; circulatory system; respiratory system; urinary system; nervous system; reproductive system; endocrine system; immune system; homeostasis)
BIOCHEMISTRY (proteins, carbohydratesm lipids, energy of cells, glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, pentose phosphate pathway, glucuronic acid and ascorbic acid pathway, anabolic paths, gluconeogenesis, glycogen metabolism, oxidation of fatty acids, beta-oxidation pathways, formation of ketone bodies, oxidation of amino acids, break down reactions, urea cycle)
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY (phases and phase equilibria, solution chemistry, reaction rates and equilibrium, thremodynamics and thermochemistry, acids and bases, oxidation, reduction and electrochemistry)
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (Isomers, resonance, addition and substitution reactions, elimination reactions and aldol condensation, spectroscopy, alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkyenes, alcohols, ethers, thiols, sulfides, amines, Grignard reagents, aromatic compounds, aldehydes and ketones, carboxyilic acids and their derivatives
PHYSICS (Vectors, uniformly accelerated motion, momentum, energy; Force and motion; solids, liquids and gases; waves and sound; light; electrostatics; electric current; electromagnetism; atomic and nuclear physics)
The science sections include over 1000 questions with worked solutions. Seperate to this is a four section question booklet which introduces you to different types of questions and allows you to practice them and find your weaker areas (e.g. calculations, data intrepretation etc). IT ALSO INLCUDES FIVE HALF-TEST PAPERS with worked solutions. In total this amounts to about 1500 practice questions on the science alone!
Books
'Organic Chemistry', Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers - big heavy degree level textbook to help you grasp key concepts - (Organic Chemistry forms about 40% of the exam).
'Organic Chemistry: Solutions', Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers - worked solutions textbook to accompany main text
'Chemistry Calculations Explained', Dr Aleyamma Ninan
'Foundations of Organic Chemistry', Hornby and Peache (Oxford Chemistry Primers)
'Foundations of Organic Chemistry: Worked Examples', Hornby and Peache (Oxford Chemistry Primers)
GRADMED MSAT Study Pack 2 (another medical entrance exam prep book - similar to GAMSAT)
MEDPREP Study guide e-book - Again, many worked examples and actually includes 39 example essays for Section 2. I can email this to you on purchase.
