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 Section III alone accounts for half the overall score.

What does GAMSAT cost?

AUD$568 including GST in Australia, €378 in Ireland, and £296 in the UK.

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?

4 hours and 10 minutes of testing time, though you should expect to be at the test centre for approximately 6 hours. Written Communication is offered separately by remote proctoring at a time you select when booking.
