How Does the GAMSAT Practice Test Help Me Prepare for the GAMSAT?

Let’s say you’ve finally decided to sign up for the ACER GAMSAT ^® test. With such a wide range of topics tested in Section 1 and Section 3, how do you know where to start?

GAMSAT ^® Practice Test gives you this direction.Through trial and error, you gain a metacognitive understanding of your own ability and progress. This highlights which areas you need to work on and provides efficiency in approach to future GAMSAT ^® preparation efforts.

For instance, after the practice test, you may find you struggle to uncover the meaning of a finicky poem. Or, you might realise that your Physics is just not what it used to be!

The Free GAMSAT ^® Online Practice Test is integrated into our intelligent MCQ system that tracks student performance across 43 subtopics so they can easily identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Once you find these areas, you have a clear path forward to start preparing for the GAMSAT ^® in the most efficient, personalised way possible.

Another way the practice test will help is by giving you a way to understand your relationship with time constraints. Many students struggle with the time pressure on the day in the ACER GAMSAT ^® exam, but there are ways to get around this through practice!

Obviously, performing to timed conditions requires balance between being thorough and being quick. But first, you must see how long it usually takes you to do a set of Qs and how the time pressure affects the accuracy of your answers, so that you know which way you have to turn that balance!

With that in mind, we have designed our GAMSAT ^® Practice Test to be available in various different modes which allow you to complete the exam at your own pace or under real time pressure if you prefer. We’ve also gone to great lengths to design a user interface that closely mimics the actual GAMSAT ^® exam. Once you’ve learned your way around our GAMSAT ^® Practice Test online platform, navigating ACER’s GAMSAT ^® interface on exam day will not be an issue.

Which GAMSAT Practice Test is Best?

This is a difficult question to answer, because it depends on many things, such as your comfort level with science concepts as well as what your strengths and weaknesses are. ACER has practice questions that you can work through, and students often start there. However, with practice tests, the more you do, the better prepared you will be, so ACER’s GAMSAT ^® practice questions are often not enough. GradReady’s GAMSAT ^® practice test is one of the best options available out there because it is conducted on a user interface that closely mimics the actual GAMSAT ^® , allowing you to familarise yourself with the exam before test day. You can also take the test under real time pressure or at your own pace.

GAMSAT Free Practice Test Tips

All in all, it’s important to know what type of skills the GAMSAT ^® actually wants to test. Visit our guide on What is the GAMSAT ^® to learn all you need to know about this challenging exam.

What Does My GAMSAT Practice Test Score Mean?

Your score is basically a scaled version of your raw marks (how many you got correct out of 44 Qs). This mimics how ACER calculates your scores for each section of the official GAMSAT ^® exam.

See our article on GAMSAT ^® scores for the nitty gritty of what your scores in each section, overall and percentiles mean.

Is the GAMSAT the hardest exam?

The GAMSAT ^® is a difficult, gruelling exam. It tests a wide variety of skills and is high stakes in nature given what it provides students down the line, which is a pathway to becoming a doctor. However, it is manageable!

Importantly, study and practice does improve scores on the GAMSAT. ^® According to ACER, the GAMSAT ^® exam tests critical thinking skills and your ability to analyse materials - all of which you learn and acquire either through education via schools or universities, self-study or studying through us! However, to know whether you are improving, practice tests are your best bet, and our GAMSAT ^® Free Practice Test ensures you have a base level to quantify your progress.

What is the pass rate for GAMSAT?
