Welcome to the MCAT Forum

Hi,

I am wanting to apply for 2007 entry to Medicine as i am already too late for 2006 entry. I intend to sit the GAMSAT exam, as i am thinking about applying to Swansea, Nottingham, St Georges, and Glasgow (5 Year). I have heard the exam is tough, but was given the advice that if i can get a hold of MCAT study material and use that then i will be well prepared for the GAMSAT. Is it true that the MCAT is tougher than the GAMSAT exam?

I have recently ordered a KAPLAN MCAT preparation book and CD from Amazon, but does anyone recommend the bigger more comprehensive courses ($1500) courses, as i have seen them on sale on eBay for a lot less!

Cheers

Yes, the MCAT is much longer and harder. However, make sure you have intimate knowledge of the GAMSAT structure, and at least try a few practice exams. I teach for KAPLAN. If you are disciplined, and you study hard you'll be fine without it.
