GAMSAT: GAMSAT review ebook, gold standard prep (if you can afford it, otherwise go for the AS&A2 revision guides for biology, chemistry & physics).

Hello Matt,

Thank you for your response, will the GAMSAT material be ok for someone who is not a science student.

It's difficulty varies for science and non-science graduates and I'd say it's probably proportional to the amount of work you put in. Science graduates will likely need to do less revision for the test and could start later, and likewise non-science graduates should start sooner. You're essentially going to have to learn AS&A2 biology, chemistry & physics, and then go on to learn some more advanced biology and chemistry.

It's certainly do-able if you put in the effort, plenty of people do it!

Hey all,

Does anybody recommend anything on top of the 600q book? All of the websites that I see are really highly priced for what they're offerering and I'm not willing to spend the small fortunes they ask for the courses that are advertised. Thanks in advance.

Hey just wondered which chemistry and physics books you found particularly useful?

If you've got lots of money to spend then i'm sure they'll be useful, but not a guarantee of any success. One company kept emailing me said I would be guaranteed a score of at least 60 if i went on the course. I didn't go on the course, just used the books and ended up with 65. I'm not boasting, just pointing out that its not the only way to get a good score.

I used CGP and Letts A-level revision guides. I downloaded Griffiths' GAMSAT review from the website and used the highlighted sections (the most common questions in the exam) to focus my revision.

It might be worth looking over some GCSE Maths books as that is the level of manipulations you will be doing for QR.

Hey guys! I am from London, and will be applying for either grad entry medicine or undergrad entry. I am looking for someone to revise with someone maybe, I am currently practicing the 600+ book and also online questions answers, but to discuss and share ideas will be useful.
