Fall GAMSAT Sitting (Dublin + across the UK): September 11, 2019 • Spring GAMSAT Sitting (across Ireland + London/Liverpool): 2020, March date TBA
I just wanted to let you know that the Live Course was superb – it was definitely the best investment of both time and money that I have made during my study for the GAMSAT. I received my GAMSAT results today from the Irish sitting and obtained a 64 overall including a 66 in the science section. Absolutely delighted.
I completed the GAMSAT Prep course in Perth: 71 overall in the GAMSAT, with a score of 77 in the science section.
From the comprehensive textbook, to the online tests, videos and forum, Gold Standard played a huge part in my 74 GAMSAT score.
Especially happy with the 66 that I achieved for the writing section. The GAMSAT essay correction is excellent and I know they contributed to my good result.
I cannot praise your program enough; it helped immensely...
The [Gold Standard] GAMSAT Prep package is an invaluable studying tool.
Shouldn't your GAMSAT grinds include personal attention from a GAMSAT expert and dynamic teacher? Dr. Ferdinand wrote and edited the first GAMSAT textbook ever, created practice GAMSATs online and taught and tutored thousands of premed students over 20 years. Is there any GAMSAT grinds that can promise you that level of experience?
The Gold Standard Textbook is also available at UCD (The Campus Bookshop), UCC (John Smith's Bookshop), Hodges Figgis and Clarendon Medical.
4 Books: 3 Textbooks + 10 Mock Exams Book; MP3s and Online Science Videos; GAMSAT and Interview videos; 2019-2020 Edition

Every year, we do have students attending our classes with no preparation. Although all students will learn in class because of the interactive way we teach, preparing for class will help you optimise your in-class experience. If the real GAMSAT is the Olympics, Gold Standard courses represent your coach and training, and what you do at home is similar to going to the gym to work out before you come for training. We will spell out the ideal pre-class preparation below. However, if the ideal is not possible, no matter what your background, please review our online Gold Standard videos. As an example, you can learn all of the high-yield Physics for the GAMSAT, from the very beginning right up to what we do in class, in only 5 hours. So at least by spending time reviewing each of the sciences in the Videos section of gamsat-prep.com while taking very brief notes, you would greatly improve your long term advantage of attending class. If you don't want to access our videos, you can try Khan Academy or YouTube searches. Our aim is to help you optimise your score in the most efficient way possible. There are some fun things that we suggest for Section 1 and 2, like spending a few minutes on TED.com at least twice per week. If you see a video that you really like, take down just a couple of sentences (notes). You may find it perfect for an essay. Do the exercises in the Gold Standard book for Sections 1 and 2. If you don't have the book, consider getting GAMSAT University which has an online version of the book: GAMSAT University.
If you have particular difficulty in some area, just let us know how you are preparing and we'll see if we can give you some advice or guidance. You can use the Live Chat feature on our website or our GAMSAT forum or email us directly at learn@gamsat-prep.com.
Of course, we do recommend that you do some reading before the course begins. As you know, your options include The Gold Standard Textbook or The Complete GAMSAT Home Study Package or, for ESL students or those who have sat the GAMSAT and have had problems in a particular section, we have specific online programs for Sections 1, 2 or 3 (these programs are automatically included in our comprehensive course packages).
Because the GAMSAT has been increasingly focused on graphs and tables, please consider the following:
All handouts are included in your course fee and will be provided on the day of the seminar. Please bring a pencil and pen for each day of class and a notepad for your notes, calculations and diagrams. Also, please bring picture ID to the first class for registration. Students are not permitted to make video recordings of our courses. No calculators are needed since they are not permitted for the exam.
Please bring your ACER GAMSAT practice booklets (or e-book access with your electronic device or print-out) so that if time is left at the end, worked solutions can be presented in class. Since Gold Standard has already placed all Section 3 worked solutions on YouTube, we do not focus on using precious class time for that purpose. However, when there is applicability to content you have just learned in class, we may briefly examine content from ACER.
Consider bringing snacks and bottled water as refreshments are not included.
It is not necessary for you to bring the Gold Standard GAMSAT textbook to class; however, if you have any questions regarding any content from the book, you can bring it and there will be time for you to clarify any issues in class.
Please note: if you are absent from the seminar, it is not possible to email/mail the course handouts. Handouts will only be given to the registered students in the classroom.
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered active learning process in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving problems. Students learn both thinking strategies and relevant knowledge. PBL is the most popular learning technique in medical schools across the world because research has shown that students learn better and remember longer as compared to traditional lectures.
Gold Standard GAMSAT is not associated nor affiliated with ACER in any way. However, we think that it is very important for your future GAMSAT success that you consider the following quote from ACER's website referring to the current GAMSAT:
"Since problem-based learning techniques are central to modern medical curricula, GAMSAT is constructed with a major focus on the assessment of problem solving ability across a wide range of subject areas."
Gold Standard GAMSAT was the first to introduce problem-based learning (PBL) to GAMSAT courses in Ireland, the UK and Australia. Virtually all students - regardless of academic background - participate in solving GAMSAT practice questions, and discuss responses as well as strategies. The role of the instructor is to facilitate learning by supporting, guiding, and teaching background content.
Although PBL is central to the way we help to optimise your learning, it is your choice. If you do not wish to participate for any reason, when you register for class on the morning of the seminar, please let the instructor know and we will respect your choice.

NOTE: This course is also ideal if you intend to prepare early for your March 2020 sitting.
The Section 2 Essay Correction Service is available separately in the "Online Courses" box above. Practice tests can be purchased as a group or separately. You can repeat any exam section as often as you want during your access period. You can also cross-out or highlight on your computer screen. All exam attempts are saved with full explanations to help your review.

If you have never studied Physics before, we suggest you begin by reading the 6 chapters of GAMSAT Math in the new Gold Standard GAMSAT textbook. After that, typically, the first topic in Physics is 'Scalars and Vectors'. After viewing the video below, take the time to solve the online chapter review practice questions which range from very basic up to GAMSAT level. "Review, practice, then full-length testing" should be your mantra for success!
We have our 'old school' and 'new school' GAMSAT science teaching videos, as well as virtual classroom videos. You can sample our different video formats on YouTube, Vimeo or by creating a free GAMSAT account (1 hour of access) or by joining one of our live or online GAMSAT Ireland courses (unlimited access within your access period: GAMSAT University, Home Study Package, Complete GAMSAT Course).
On average, delivery in 1 week to Ireland and the UK. Any package over €350 includes the following bonuses: Medical School Interview DVD and small group teaching session either online or in class (Dublin • London • Brisbane • Sydney • Melbourne • Adelaide • Perth). You can see clips of your free Medical School Interview video below.
Note: the interview is not part of the admissions process to Irish medical schools but should you wish to apply internationally, the interview is required by most medical schools in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
