I would if I could. But just graduating this year, student loan + student broke-ness means I can't afford Grad-med

Yeah, GradMed is both my birthday and xmas pressie for the next year, £1050 JUST for the revison classes

, its sooo harsh....I'm not even thinking about travel or accomodation...what uni are you from?

Birmingham - did Psychlogy..oops ok my sig says that. I think I'm actually losing braincells from doing this GAMSAT thing! How many hours a day are u studying?

**VanDerDuck** · 07-07-2009, 12:51 AM

Well...I started a few days ago...i'm cheating abit by being tutored for physics, it actually varies...as much as possible really...like tomorow, im spending a good 9 hours in the library, I spent 6 hours on polishing up my maths today, errm...I suppose I don't have the same pressures as other peeps, I'm not applying for 2010 entry, I just finished the first year of my degree, I'll be applying for 2011 entry...but I wana get GAMSAT out of the way...it lasts two years aparently...so if I do well now, no pressure next year...i hope...how about you?

That's a really good idea getting it out of the way - wish I'd decided earlier and done the same to be honest. Studying usually varies between minimum 6 hours to 9 hours a day usually, its tough because I'm at hospital getting work experience and stuff too but hopefully it'll work out if I put enough effort in it.

I think I'm gona spend most of next year (term time) getting work exp, just want this exam out of the way

...How often do you do the sample/practice question thingies?

I think I just found something that will cheer everyone studying up:

YouTube - StudyBack

Clemette/Sam...you are my inspiration!! was that the first time you sat it? im hoping to get into nottingham too, i have a media degree already and i am soooo scared about gamsat so its really reassuring to know there is someone who has done it! xx

**clemette** · 13-07-2009, 12:30 AM

It was. It can be done

Good luck to all.

In my opinion it's all about how you take the exam on the day, making sure you're in the right frame of mind and prepared to work for 5 1/2 hours. It's an endurance test as much as a scientific/literature test. Saying that, I'd recomment Griffiths review and the dummy books to cover the basics.
