Questions people ask before choosing this path
Are all three GAMSAT sections worth the same?
No. The overall score is (1 × Humanities and Social Sciences + 1 × Written Communication + 2 × Biological and Physical Sciences) ÷ 4, so Biological and Physical Sciences alone accounts for half the overall score.
How long is a GAMSAT score valid?
Up to four consecutive years in Australia, but only two consecutive years in the UK and Ireland, with Ulster University accepting four. Where you intend to apply therefore changes how many admission cycles a single sitting can cover.
What does GAMSAT cost?
AUD$568 including GST in Australia, €378 in Ireland, and £296 in the UK. Fees change between test cycles, so confirm on the ACER site before registering.
Is a GAMSAT score of 60 a 60%?
No. Scores are reported on a 0 to 100 scale that ACER states explicitly are not percentage marks. They are scaled scores designed to rank a highly competitive cohort.
How long is the test and what order are the sections in?
4 hours and 10 minutes of testing time, with approximately 6 hours expected at the test centre. Humanities and Social Sciences is sat first at around 1 hour 40 minutes, followed by a 30-minute break, then Biological and Physical Sciences at around 2 hours 30 minutes. Written Communication is taken separately by remote proctoring at a time you select when booking.
When do GAMSAT results come out?
Results from the March sitting are released in late May, and results from the September sitting in mid-November.
