GradReady was founded in 2010 by a group of Medical Doctors from the University of Melbourne. Our original aim was to help students in their GAMSAT ® (Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test) Preparation - We found existing preparation courses to be overly didactic, inattentive to individual student needs, and lacking in online tools.

Using our experience in Education and IT, we founded GradReady as a provider dedicated to providing the most advanced online learning experience and personalised, targeted GAMSAT ® prep.

In the years since, we’ve created a proprietary online LMS featuring the most advanced learning technology on the market with performance tracking over 43 different GAMSAT ® topics and percentile reporting that compares you to thousands of other GradReady students, past and present. We’ve also grown to provide the same targeted learning experience for UCAT ® Students with our UCAT ® Preparation Courses.

Our personalised approach is also reflected in our tuition team which consists of successful current medical students, former university level lecturer & PhD candidates. What’s more, our interactive classes are capped at 21 students to ensure that you have a chance to engage directly and frequently with our expert team. We run our GAMSAT ® & UCAT ® Preparation Courses around Australia in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

This approach has helped our students achieve the best results at the best value, with our average student achieving an Improvement of 20+ Percentile Points over the last 7 years. Our InterviewReady students have also achieved an average Medical Admissions Rate of 90% over 4 years. To learn more about our student results, visit our Student Testimonials.

The Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT ® ) is a standardised exam coordinated by the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) designed to ‘assess the capacity to undertake high-level intellectual studies in the medical and health professional programs’. It is a test required for applications to all but one Graduate Entry Medical course in Australia, as well as various other dentistry, optometry and podiatry courses. In essence, the exam is designed to assess your analytical and critical thinking skills as well as how you organise and communicate your ideas in order to select candidates for Graduate Entry Medical Studies.

The GAMSAT ® Exam is made up of three sections:

  1. Section 1: Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences

  2. Section 2: Written Communication

  3. Section 3: Reasoning in Biological and Physical Sciences

Your overall GAMSAT ® score is determined as follows:

Overall Score = (1 x Section I + 1 x Section II + 2 x Section III) / 4

Note however that there are some exceptions to this formula - to learn more about how GAMSAT ® scoring works and view different university cutoff scores for medical courses, visit our GAMSAT ® Results Guide.

The GAMSAT ® Exam runs twice a year in March and September. To learn the exact dates and learn more about registration deadlines and the GAMSAT ® Exam Test locations, visit our guide to sitting the GAMSAT ® Exam in 2021.

The secret to preparing for the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test ( GAMSAT ® ) lies in the approach. The GAMSAT ® is designed to ‘assess the capacity to undertake high-level intellectual studies in the medical and health professional programs’, and it does this by assessing your analytical and critical thinking skills. Make no mistake, the GAMSAT ® Exam is focused on examining your reasoning and problem solving skills rather than your recall of specific content and in this respect, it requires a different approach to preparation compared with a typical university assessment.

Here at GradReady, we organise our GAMSAT ® Preparation Strategy under three key stages:

Steps

Description

Build the foundational content and knowledge

Our GradReady Students have access to our 1200+ pg GAMSAT ® Textbook as well as over 25 hours of videos to provide them with all the tools they need to establish this essential foundation. In addition, if you ever need any further help with a particular concept or subject, our GetClarity system allows you to directly contact a GAMSAT ® Tutor who specialises in your area of query anytime you need it - it’s basically like having a personal tutor at your fingertips.

Apply this knowledge and develop a GAMSAT ® Exam and MCQ Strategy

We ask our students to prepare for our live classes by reviewing the content beforehand, in order to allow our GAMSAT ® tutors to focus their time on teaching you to develop an Exam Strategy and providing you with the skills to take MCQs apart. With classes capped at 21 students, the interactive environment provides students with plenty of opportunities to ask our tutors for advice & feedback.

Practice with realistic questions under accurate conditions

GradReady students have access to up to 8 Intelligent Online Exams as well as the most realistic Mock Exam out there, featuring percentile reporting for your overall performance and a breakdown for each section that compares you to thousands of GradReady students, past and present.

What Our Students Say

  • An ideal balance of professionalism and intimacy demonstrated by the renowned tutors of GradReady enabled me to consolidate the necessary ingredients needed to excel on the day of GAMSAT ®

    – Sam D
  • The 1-on-1 focus for the science section was very beneficial. Especially for someone, like myself, who has never done Physics before. That is where the GradReady course differentiates itself from other courses.

    – Anonymous
  • I was absolutely floored with the results!! Improving from 64 to 85... the marked essays were fantastic... thank you for your support during and after the course!

    – Steven S
  • GradReady helped me a lot with my GAMSAT ® score. I received 50 my first time, but after the course I got an overall score of 69. I found the chemistry tutorial particularly helpful. It clarified several ambiguous points from my previous study.

    – Yuan W
  • I feel more confident after taking the GAMSAT ® Ready course, and I’ve been recommending the course to my friends.

    – Martin B
  • I found the course very helpful, both through the provision of some great material and an extra motivator to focus my studies. My overall score increased from 61 to 76. Specifically I found the feedback on the content and structure of my writing was instrumental.

    – Suzannah C
  • The Humanities section was absolutely fantastic! The guidance through essay writing steps and reading passages was very comforting.

    – Trung N
  • Everything was very well done! The workshop was well facilitated and provided a good opportunity to practice scenarios in front / with others. The Mock MMI Day was fantastic - I would recommend this to ANYONE who has been successful in obtaining an interview of med school. It was absolutely worth the money. Thank you!

    – Amelie I
  • The workshop gave helpful tips and allowed us to learn from the ideas, demeanours and mistakes of our peers. The mock interviews were realistic so they were very valuable for building confidence in the interview environment.

    – Lara M
  • The InterviewReady course helped tremendously with my preparation. I think the best thing was that we didn't know beforehand what scenarios were prepared for us, and that allowed for a great deal of spontaneity when answering questions.

    – Nathaniel H
  • The recreation of the interviews was almost exactly like the actual interview! The course taught us how to develop the perspective of the interviewer so that we could refine our answers.

    – Adrianna P
  • The whole Mock Day was a great experience which allowed personal reflection on my performance, putting into perspective what I could improve on and what I did well. The fishbowl was a good experience, particularly for people like me who are more quiet.

    – Vince C
  • The mock MMI was certainly one of the highlights of the programs that provided me with the confidence that I needed to tackle my actual MMI, with minimal levels of stress and anxiety as I already knew what to expect.

    – Peter C
