Those without a strong science background

    I've just finished my undergrad degree and am free for the summer. Not sure how long I will need to get a strong bases in the sciences. I've just done biology and a little bit of biochemistry, so I need to do physics and chemistry.


    How are you guys going about preparing for the GAMSAT? Or how long did it take you to get ready to the level that you were able to sit the exam?


    Thanks for any replies! :)

    I did the gamsat last year without a science background. Prior to studying for it I'd not had a science class for 10+ years. I spent 6 weeks or so studying A level revision stuff which got me through.

    However, I found at least in the exam I did, that the only stuff I really learned that was useful was the chemistry/biochem. Most of the questions provide you with all the information you need and you can work it out really without any prior knowledge at all.

    So it depends on how intensely you study, but the best thing you can do is lots of past questions to get a feel for the structure of what they're asking. It's not really a test where you'll need to remember lots of facts, instead you'll have to figure stuff out based on what they give you.
