Section 1, 2, 3 GAMSAT Course with the Author of the GS GAMSAT Books

Learn, Revise and Practice: GAMSAT Non Science and Science using PBL

Dr. Ferdinand, author of the Gold Standard GAMSAT books, uses a problem-based learning (PBL) approach to teach the most frequently tested GAMSAT topics in non-science verbal reasoning (Section 1), written communication (Section 2 essays), and the sciences (Section 3).
Develop your GAMSAT-level knowledge, skills and strategies for 4 full days (9 am – 5 pm). Note that more detailed schedules for each day can be found by scrolling down.
Day 1: Learn Section 1 strategies, determine your reading speed and level of comprehension, and set practical goals for improvement. Launch your Section 1 practice with poetry, cartoons, graphs & tables, and more. Learn and apply the Gold Standard GAMSAT 'Five Minute, Five Step Plan' to assess any essay topic while maintaining disciplined time management. Get 2 of your essays scored with personalised advice and comments from our team of experienced markers.
Day 2: A 1-day bridging course to help science students to focus on Section 1 and 2 PBL and strategies while non-science students (or students with gaps in science understanding) cover basic science to prepare for the next 2 days of science review. Science bridging explores basic GAMSAT Maths, all Physics equations that are assumed knowledge for GAMSAT, key concepts in General and Organic Chemistry, and a focus on graph analysis for GAMSAT Biology. The latter is completed with science students as well.
Day 3: A full day of Physical Sciences – GAMSAT Physics and General Chemistry – using PBL as a tool to learn, revise and practice.
Day 4: A full day of Biological Sciences – GAMSAT Biology and Organic Chemistry – using PBL as a tool to learn, revise and practice.
Purchase any full day course for $199.
Handouts are included in course tuition.

Virtual Reality GAMSAT Mock Exams: Learn through Practice

GAMSAT questions have certain patterns. Learn those patterns to master those questions. Our Gold Standard GAMSAT virtual reality full-length practice tests are based on ACER’s format and thus reproduce the balance of question types, timing and difficulty level of the real GAMSAT.

In this course, students sit a full-length practice exam (Virtual Reality GAMSAT VR-1 exam) on the 1st day; the 2nd day is for review and problem-solving analysis; the 3rd day is to cover advanced GAMSAT topics and to apply problem-based learning to the review of the content from the VR-1 practice test. A second full-length proctored GAMSAT VR-2 Mock Exam features the best of Gold Standard's GAMSAT-level practice questions.

Purchase any full day course for $199.
Handouts are included in course tuition.

Our Gold Standard GAMSAT Courses schedules are likely outlines of our courses but may be somewhat modified without notification depending on class size and need, as well as any suggested or announced changes to the real GAMSAT, or other unforeseen circumstances. We prioritise preparing students for the real exam rather than teaching topics which are no longer relevant.

VR-1 and VR-2 are our “Greatest Hits” exams! These are our only exams that are solely available in class (our other exams are available in the Heaps book or as online tests). VR-1 and VR-2 contain our most relevant content from our 5000+ MCQs PLUS brand new practice questions touching on the reasoning required by the most recent GAMSATs. After the mock exam, all students will be provided with online access to worked solutions to every practice question in their Virtual Reality GAMSAT mock exam.

If you wish to purchase any of the 3 paperback Gold Standard textbooks or the 10-exam Heaps book individually or as a package, either close this window and scroll to the bottom of the webpage for fast delivery, or purchase from www.coop.com.au and pickup at your local uni. Coop Bookshop. Come learn from our experience.

Every year, we do have students attending our classes with no preparation. Although all students will learn in class because of the interactive way we teach, preparing for class will help you optimise your in-class experience. If the real GAMSAT is the Olympics, Gold Standard courses represent your coach and training, and what you do at home is similar to going to the gym to work out before you come for training.

We will spell out the ideal pre-class preparation below. However, if the ideal is not possible, no matter what your background, please review our online Gold Standard videos. You can review all of Physics, from the very beginning right up to what we do in class, in only 5 hours. So at least by spending time reviewing each of the sciences in the Videos section of gamsat-prep.com, you would greatly improve your long term advantage of attending class. If you don’t want to access our videos, you can try Khan Academy or YouTube searches.

Our aim is to help you optimise your score in the most efficient way possible.

There are some fun things that we suggest for Section 1 and 2, like spending a few minutes on TED.com at least twice per week. If you see a video that you really like, take down just a couple of sentences (notes). You may find it perfect for an essay.

Do the exercises in the Gold Standard book for Sections 1 and 2. If you don't have the book, consider getting GAMSAT University which has an online version: GAMSAT University.

If you have particular difficulty in some area, just let us know how you are preparing and we'll see if we can give you some advice or guidance. You can use the Live Chat feature on our website or our forum or email us directly at learn@gamsat-prep.com.

Of course, we do recommend that you do some reading before the course begins. As you know, your options include The Gold Standard Textbook or The Complete GAMSAT Home Study Package or, for ESL students or those who have sat the GAMSAT and have had problems in a particular section, we have specific online programs for Sections 1, 2 or 3.

Because the GAMSAT has been increasingly focused on graphs and tables, please consider the following:

One of the initial steps to understand graphs and tables is to review the GAMSAT Math chapters of the GS GAMSAT book. Math is the basis of graphs and tables and must be understood before moving on to GAMSAT-level practice.
Only after a GAMSAT Math review, you can consider the section Dr. Ferdinand created on our website dedicated to science GAMSAT-level graphs and tables, in Biology Lessons, Chapter 0. GAMSAT Biology Graph Analysis Practice Questions. Although science graphs can be very complex, it will make Section 1 tables and graph interpretation much easier. As mentioned earlier, it all begins with Math.
