Best-Rated GAMSAT Preparation Material

Effectively using the GAMSAT Preparation Material is essential and the key to success. In addition to these preparatory materials, I recommend you read our top tips for each section (insert link). There are endless resources and preparation materials available and it can be hard choosing which are best to use. Here are our Free GAMSAT Questions:

1.     ACER GAMSAT Preparation Materials

2.     Griffiths GAMSAT Review

Most students who’ve sat the GAMSAT would agree that the online Griffiths GAMSAT Review series is one of the best resources available. It consists of 6 books and covers all of the sections of the GAMSAT. It costs $272 AUD for the complete set and you can find them here.

3.     Textbooks

If you prefer to learn from a textbook, any year 12 science book will cover the topics needed. There are multiple different ‘GAMSAT’ textbooks available but if it’s the core theory you want to learn, any year 12 book will be sufficient. Try to avoid paying for overpriced textbooks which offer the same content but class themselves as ‘GAMSAT specific’ and therefore charge more money.

Some books I recommend are:

Section 1:

‘When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi

‘Complications’ by Atul Gawande

‘Do No Harm’ by Henry Marsh

Section 2:

‘The Meaning of Things’ by AC Grayling

Section 3:

If you have done science for ATAR or undergraduate, try to find your textbooks and use these! If not, consider purchasing, and remember you can always get them second-hand.
The ‘For Dummies’ series are a good place to start and they have books on each of the science disciplines. The ‘Organic Chemistry for Dummies’ is $26.25 AUD and can be purchased here.

4.     Online resources

It’s tempting to go straight to the specific GAMSAT preparation materials, however the free online resources can be just as good and may even go into further detail in their explanations. Here are some links:

Tips for buying and using resources:

• Before making any purchases, think about your current knowledge and understanding. You may find that if you’ve majored in English or literature that you won’t need many resources for section 1 and similarly if you have a science background, you won’t need to invest in resources for section 3. 

• If you wish to purchase materials, look at the reviews and ratings. Also check if other GAMSAT students have discussed the book within forums such as on Med Student Online

• Use a variety of resources: To gain a well-rounded understanding of topics, use different resources. Whilst textbooks may be great for gaining a grounded understanding of a topic, videos may help to allow you to visualise things in real-time and 3D.

• It’s great to learn the theory but practising questions is of utmost importance. The GAMSAT purposely offers most of the knowledge you require within the question stems as it aims to test your ability to interpret information. So whilst knowing the theory is great and will help with your answering speed. 

Tutoring is also a great resource to enable your learning and ensure you achieve a great grade, check out our available options here.
