On the morning of the first day, students will be assigned to which small group they would belong. Printing of practice problem sets is included in the course tuition.
The following topic list or syllabus is not meant to be exhaustive nor definitive. Consider it a guideline for topics that we are expected to cover as a result of the stimulus materials reviewed in class.

Some companies photocopy PowerPoint slides from class, and non-GAMSAT specific Wikipedia images and articles, bind it together and call that a course textbook. We are the first and only company to produce a professional, colour, hardcover textbook which has won an International Book Prize and has helped thousands of students gain admissions to medicine. As the GAMSAT evolved, our 712-page textbook spawned 1820 pages across 4 separate softcover books. You do not have to take our word about the quality that we offer, you can browse through the books yourself at your local uni bookshop, or look at some look at some sample pages by clicking on the front covers of the books below. We have been a leader in GAMSAT preparation for years.
We offer four times more online videos (currently: 300+), twice the number of practice tests (currently: 15), and far more class time (100 hours) than any of our closest ‘competitors’. We continue to be the only company to offer iPhone and Android apps, and MP3s – all of which are included in our Complete Course Packages (also available separately).
You will be taught by the author of the Gold Standard GAMSAT textbook which is a level of experience unmatched. You can even sample his teaching style on YouTube, Vimeo, or GAMSAT-prep.com prior to class which is also unprecedented. All students are also welcome to further experience our teaching methods by joining our popular and free monthly GAMSAT webinars.
