Those looking at graduate medicine...

Those who are interested in the studying for the GAMSAT, I have some MCAT(the American version of the GAMSAT) preparation material to share. The science in the MCAT has more theory than the GAMSAT, but the content is all in all relevant and those who want to take the GAMSAT but with no VCE level knowledge of Biology, Chemistry or Physics.. theses materials will probably best at a very advantageous use.

Bare in mind, the questions on the GAMSAT requires more application than knowledge recall compared to the MCAT.

Most people take 6 months to prepare for the GAMSAT, but if you begin now, especially if you are doing a non-science degree (I dont know why you would do this if you want to do medicine) then study these!

If you are really dedicated into doing medicine, look at them in your semester breaks since GAMSAT results last for 2 years if you did really well on the penultimate year/2nd year then you wont have to worry about doing the GAMSAT in your third year of uni !

Hey, do you guys think that this would help with year 12 chemistry?
And the 'VERBAL AND MATH' would help with some areas of the UMAT?
Or is this strictly GAMSAT

Dont look at it for year 12 chemistry, it goes into much more depth and it will only confuse you and become detrimental towards your chemistry score. VCE chemistry is not truely "chemistry" is it overly simplified and just accept those simplifications so you do well in VCE.

Im not too sure about the Verbal and Math bit, but the Math will definately not help you for the UMAT.

As said, no reason to look at any of this for VCE chem. Verbal would probably help a bit with the UMAT.
