London vs Dublin Gamsat

scns2010 · 2012-12-01 14:06:54

Hi all, I've just done the London GAMSAT and got a 58 which is 70th percentile on that curve. A 58 on last years dublin GAMSAT was close to 80th percentile. I'm just wondering what people's experiences have been in sitting the Dublin and London exam? Is it a similar exam with just a higher standard applicant in Ireland?…

Hi all,

I'm just wondering what people's experiences have been in sitting the Dublin and London exam? Is it a similar exam with just a higher standard applicant in Ireland?

Also wondering do many people score worse on the Irish exam?

ACER does a well researched statistical analysis method to convert raw marks into scaled scores and then to percentiles. The percentile rank depends upon how many test takers have taken the test and how many of them have scores below what you have got. It also depends upon how many have correctly answered the same question based on which there is a weightage given to each question. GAMSAT is similar in both the region but scores depend upon a lot of other factors as well.
