Des O'Neil Gamsat prep material contents.

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I wanted to know what the Des O'Neil courses advertised on their website actually contain. For instance, they've currently got a few things advertised such as the "Red Series Practising Humanities MCQs Course" and the "Green Series Practising Science MCQs Course". Are these simply the Red Humanities MCQ book and the Green science MCQ book (see attached picture) or are there other additional things included in the course also?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the MCQ books but my Science MCQ book was red (it was from 2011 though).

There is also a blue Science Revision MCQ book.
2012 ATAR: 99.20

2016-2019: Doctor of Medicine (MD4) at The University of Melbourne

Hi Shenz0r,

thanks for your reply. What I actually wanted to know was what the Des O'Neil courses include. Are the Des books only included or are there other things also?

Sorry for the confusion caused.

Hey M-D,

The current Des O'Neil course is the 'Sapphire Package' and includes 3 books:

-Practising Humanities MCQ (Red Series)
-Practising Science MCQs (Green Series)
-Writing Better Essays (Purple Series)

The practising Humanities MCQ and the practising science MCQs are exactly the same as the ones you have now. The only book you are missing from the 'sapphire package' is the writing better essays book.

Apart from these books, Des offers one more book, the science revision book.
The latest one is the red one (takes into account the no calculator rule), but I've heard from many people that it doesn't differ that much from previous versions (blue, yellow). The older versions are also significantly cheaper.

Hope I've clarified this for you.

Good luck with your GAMSAT prep !
