✍️ Sample GAMSAT Questions & Answers

1. Which of the following best describes how ACER reports GAMSAT scores to medical schools?
Candidates authorize ACER to release results directly to nominated institutions

Candidates nominate which institutions may receive their results, and ACER releases the official scores to those institutions upon authorization.

2. During endotracheal intubation, which finding best confirms correct tube placement in the trachea rather than the esophagus?
Continuous waveform capnography showing CO2

Continuous waveform capnography is the gold standard for confirming endotracheal tube placement as it provides real-time CO2 detection from ventilated lungs.

3. If a candidate's GAMSAT score report shows a section score of 55 and the national mean for that section was 57, what can be concluded?
The candidate performed below the national average on that section

A score of 55 compared to a national mean of 57 means the candidate performed slightly below average, but below-average does not mean failing or disqualifying.

4. How long is Section III (Biological and Physical Sciences) of the GAMSAT?
150 minutes

Section III runs for approximately 150 minutes (2.5 hours) to accommodate its large number of science-based questions.

5. Which aspect of writing is MOST heavily assessed in GAMSAT Section II?
Originality of ideas and quality of argument

Assessors prioritise the candidate's ability to develop a coherent, original argument with clarity and depth rather than external knowledge or speed.

6. A student has 6 months to prepare for the GAMSAT. Which weekly study distribution is most effective according to standard preparation advice?
Allocate more time to personal weakest sections while maintaining all three

Effective GAMSAT prep requires addressing individual weaknesses while keeping all sections active, rather than neglecting any area.
