GAMSAT Courses Ireland

Designed to prepare students from every background, our courses will always be able to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to excel in the GAMSAT. We use only the same specialist tutors for each section, and in each of the sciences, who teach on our London courses. Our teaching resources, including well over 3000 pages of notes and 5000 simulated questions, have been developed since 2002 for this unique test.

Full Preparation Course 2021 – Weekends: January to March 2021

Running for three months from January until March we teach all of the core GAMSAT material, and develop the extensive reasoning skills the exam requires. Coverage is intense and consists of 20 full days of teaching at The National College of Ireland, Dublin 1.

The science-based modules are ideally suited to those with an arts or humanities background at Leaving Certificate and beyond, or those with a scientific background but rusty or not involved in its study for some time. Students receive over 3000 pages of extensive notes and over 5000 sample GAMSAT questions, in addition to our comprehensive online learning system.

The course is broken down into the following units:

Physical and Organic Chemistry – 6 Full Days
Biology and Biochemistry – 5 Full Days
Physics and Medical Physics – 3 Full Days
Written Communication and Verbal Reasoning – 3 Full Days
Mathematics for Science – 1 Full Day
Exam Strategy – 2 Full Days

Units can be taken in full or individual units selected to build particular strengths.

Online Learning Centre

Building on our sixteen years of GAMSAT experience and extensive materials and question banks, all students attending the Full Preparation courses receive full access to our unique online learning centre, which is launched this year. Written specifically for GAMSAT and developed over a period of two years, the centre provides access to thousands of additional questions across all sections of the examination, as well as unique learning resources, video lessons and techniques.

Our unique examination centres for sections 1 and 3 allow you to tailor our entire question bank of over eight thousand questions to your specific study needs, including mini tests on topics, GAMSAT style mock examinations in particular subject areas and full mock examinations. All of this is collated within our intelligent dashboard, allowing you to analyse your performance over time, as well as comparatively with the entire student body studying with us. Highlights include

2-Day Science Strategy Course – March 2021

As part of our Full preparation courses we spend a full 2 days covering your approach to the examination itself.

We will show you how to deal with all aspects of the sciences, and through extensive analysis of recent sample questions develop your approach in a strategic way. We look at the various graphical and mathematical techniques the examination requires, and apply these to recent sample questions. In doing so we help add speed and a more rational approach to how you 'triage' the GAMSAT.

Mathematics for Science - January 2021

Many Section III questions rely on you having good numerical skills and applying these to a range of theories across all of the sciences. Although the level of mathematics required is not that advanced, you must be able to deal quickly with standard form, logs, straight-line graphs, logarithmic graphs and many other such techniques.

Here we spend a day analysing all of the common mathematical techniques you will encounter on the GAMSAT. The focus is the application to simulated questions from our extensive question banks. We will show you how to use Mathematics as a tool to boost your overall score. Whilst maths itself is not tested in the exam, the course and accompanying 57 page book will equip you with an invaluable tool set moving your score in the right direction.

Students receive our unique 57 page Mathematics For Science book as part of the course.

Mock Examination – March 2021

Students sit a full and extensively tested simulated mock examination in all sections. This mock is unique, and along with all GradMed materials has undergone years of standardisation, allowing you to understand fully your preparedness for the exam itself.

Your essays are marked by our Head of Written Communication and returned with extensive comments and suggestions for improvement. Full worked solutions are provided for Sections I and III to act as learning tools in themselves.
