  1. Surviving the One Exam to Rule Them All – My Top Five Study Tips

  2. GAMSAT Study Tip #1: Breathe and Plan • GAMSAT® Exam can be incredibly overwhelming. As soon as you sign up you’re bombarded with information from ACER, practice exams, and vague advice on how to study. • Break your study into manageable chunks and you’ll feel less overwhelmed. Work out a realistic timetable – how much time can you really devote to studying? Make sure you remember to leave time for you – catch up with friends, stay social and active! • Next, work out what you need to study – look at the different sections in the GAMSAT® Exam and read through those pesky pamphlets so you’re familiar with what the requirements are. Then start to plan out how you’re going to study, and if you need help, you can download our free GAMSAT Study Syllabus here: https://gradready.com.au/gamsat-study-syllabus

  3. GAMSAT Study Tip #2: Read All of the Things • This is the easiest way to start studying for GAMSAT® Exam, you can do it anywhere, anytime! Be it poetry, opinion pieces, scientific journals, political analysis or even just textbooks, every little bit helps. • Particularly for sections 1 and 2, reading improves your vocabulary, increases your awareness of socio-economic and political issues and can help you come up with interesting examples for your essays! • Some of our favourite sources are: • The Conversation: http://theconversation.com/au • The Economist: http://www.economist.com/ • The Ethics Centre http://www.ethics.org.au/home • The Guardian, Vox, The Atlantic etc

  4. GAMSAT Study Tip #3: Target Your Study • While it’s all very well deciding to start studying for the GAMSAT® Exam, you need to know what to actually study, and this can be the hardest part of preparing for the exam. • Firstly get super-duper familiar with the content of the GAMSAT® Exam. • Know all the text types in section 1 and the breakdown of section 3. • Work out where your strengths and weaknesses are.

  5. GAMSAT Study Tip #4: PRACTISE PRACTISEPRACTISE • Once you’ve worked out what to study, when and how, you need to start putting your new knowledge to use. The best way to do this is to PRACTISE PRACTISEPRACTISE. • Get your hands on as many practice resources as you can – MCQs and essays. Do mock exams under real time pressure. • But don’t just write the exam, mark it! Really go over the questions you got wrong, see if it was just a simple error or if it’s something you need to learn again.

  6. GAMSAT Study Tip #5: Form a study group • Get together with a bunch of friends and some donuts, and hash out a study plan. • You can use these sessions to discuss articles and stories that may come in handy in the Humanities Sections, and bounce essay ideas off each other. • The best thing about working with a group is the pooling of knowledge – everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and you can teach each other. • Plus you have willing victims to inflict your essays on for feedback – as long as you read theirs in turn!
