So I just got my results back and I finally passed with a 58 overall — Section III killed me the first two times (49, then 51) but I managed a 61 this time around. I wanted to share what actually made the difference because I spent way too long doing the wrong things and I know others are in the same boat.
The biggest shift was treating it less like a knowledge test and more like a reasoning exam. I'd been grinding biology and chemistry content from a massive study guide I bought, but honestly the content only takes you so far. What moved the needle was doing timed GAMSAT practice test sets under real conditions — no pausing, phone off, full sections. I did about three full mocks in the final six weeks and reviewed every wrong answer obsessively, not just checking the right answer but understanding the reasoning chain.
Section I was actually my weakest area emotionally — I kept second-guessing myself on the humanities passages. Anyone else find that the exam tips about "going with your gut" are actually true for Section I? Curious what others experienced.
