Just FYI, GAMSAT AUS in Washington concludes at 5AM AEST so please do not put the essay topics/questions until then.

I spent the day playing FIFA and most definitely not revising cardiology/sitting GAMSAT :( (or :) depending on how you look at it)

I thought Section 3 was quite hard. Was happy with the essays though and Section 1 wasn't too bad just that I had to rush the last 10 questions

Section 1 wasn't too bad, stock standard GAMSAT section 1 in my opinion, though there were a lot of long passages and only one cartoon. The material was a lot more medicine focused than normal too. Section 2 I felt was alright, the topics were quote good (nanny state, and love). Section 3 was the hardest one I've done, mainly because of time restraints. They didn't allow the use of calculators this year, then added in a lot of questions that involved you doing maths (dividing by decimals etc.), so it took some time. There wasn't as much organic chemistry as usual too.

This.  It was much harder than UK2011 IMO.  I failed it miserably.

Didn't he also say that about his English Language score? Maybe his VCE?

Stonecold you should think that you can't get a Nobel Prize for something then you may end up with it =D.

No calculators and forced to divide by decimals? Harsh much...!
