Classic GAMSAT Package

MedPrep’s updated Classic Home-Study GAMSAT Course is ideal for science and arts students who desire a guided GAMSAT preparation solution that is plainly expressed and graphically illustrated and that offers robust feedback on student performance. This course is favoured by:

1. Science students who seek to augment an incomplete knowledge of basic-science or a rote-learning of science (sometimes sufficient to succeed at university) with a more comprehensive and analytical grasp of science (required to succeed on GAMSAT) and who, in addition, aspire to master reading-comprehension and essay-writing.
2. Arts students and other non-science students -- with a minimal exposure to biology or chemistry in high school -- who wish to learn basic-science conceptually starting with fundamentals and who, in addition, intend to perfect their reading and writing skills.
3. Working professionals from the technology and health-sciences sectors with science degrees who wish to relearn GAMSAT-relevant science and who, in addition, intend to improve their reading and writing skills.

MedPrep's Classic Package is ideal for students who prefer to learn at their own pace from the pages of MedPrep's clearly witten books with the support of online essay composition lectures, 8 professionally marked essays, and 3 full-length GAMSAT-style exams plus plenty of additional concept-building and mock GAMSAT questions. Unlike the Deluxe Home-Study GAMSAT Preparation Course, the Classic Package does not provide extensive online audiovisual lectures to teach GAMSAT-relevant science. To benefit most, students should have, at least, irregular broadband internet access.

You will receive:

• Printed and bound GAMSAT course materials delivered to your postal address via express courier
• A 60 day study plan to ensure that time and effort are focused on high yield GAMSAT topics
• Over 1100 pages of clear and succinct printed and bound GAMSAT review material and practice units/questions
• More than 900 simulated GAMSAT questions in total with 561 worked solutions/explanations and 339 distractor analysis assignments
• More than 300 concept-building questions in total with 300 worked solutions/explanations
• Engaging printed and bound reviews of GAMSAT-relevant biology, physical chemistry, organic chemistry and physics
• Superb printed and bound GAMSAT-style humanities and social science reading comprehension materials -- prose, poetry, editorial cartoons & social sciences
• Proven GAMSAT-specific essay writing methodology -- found in the printed course materials and elaborated upon in a valuable one hour online audiovisual written communication tutorial -- that delivers great results
• 8 professionally critiqued and marked essays to perfect your GAMSAT-style essay writing -- note that essays are to be submitted online for assessment within 60 days of course purchase (plus an optional FREE 15 day extension upon request equals 75 days) -- *See below to learn about extensions
• Simulated printable diagnostic GAMSAT to expose academic weaknesses and to prioritise study at the start of the course (90 Questions)
• 3 simulated full-length printed prognostic GAMSAT exams to gauge exam readiness at the end of the course (561 printed questions with 561 detailed worked solutions/explanations)

*NOTE: While experience suggests that between 33 and 60 days (depending on intensity of study and pre-course GAMSAT aptitude) is sufficient time to complete the online component of this course (i.e. submission of 8 essays online for professional assessment and review of detailed online explanations to applicable practice multiple-choice questions), MedPrep will grant a one-time 15 day access extension at no cost or a one-time 30 day online access extension for a nominal fee (AUD $70, UK£ 50 or € 68) or a one-time 60 day access extension for a nominal fee (AUD $140, UK£ 100 or € 136) only if a request is made by email atleast 10 business days in advance of the original online course-access termination date. A 15 day free extension should result in approximately 75 days of total online course access. A 30 day paid extension should result in approximately 90 days of total online course access. A 60 day paid extension should result in approximately 120 days of total online course access. These online course access time constraints are intended to promote timely essay submission and efficient course completion. Course completion generally correlates with GAMSAT performance particularly with regard to sections 2 and 3.(Extension Policy Last Revised on Nov 8th 2011)

MedPrep’s Classic Home-Study GAMSAT Preparation Course commences with a printable PDF Diagnostic Simulated GAMSAT Exam to expose your academic aptitudes and deficiencies. Based on the results, our GAMSAT Preparation Strategy Module will enable you to create an individualised study plan that will prioritise your learning and guide you through MedPrep course materials to optimise your study time and maximise your GAMSAT score.

MedPrep’s Classic Home-Study GAMSAT printed and bound science materials are not like the unwieldy and arcane textbooks that you have likely battled with during your university studies. Instead, MedPrep has produced a brand new set of comprehensive, succinct, and conceptually lucid GAMSAT-relevant science notes fashioned specifically to address the learning realities of independent study and distance education. Each captivating science lesson points out the “must know” concepts, symbolic representations, and equations found in GAMSAT-level science and is followed by a set of Quick Questions to test understanding and ingrain new knowledge. MedPrep’s 650 pages of GAMSAT Science notes feature modules in Physics, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology. Here are the details:

Physics Topics: Measurement & Calculation, Vectors, Units and Kinematics, Newtonian Mechanics, Work & Energy, Thermodynamics, Fluids, Electrostatics, DC and AC Circuits, Magnetism, Oscillation & Waves, Nuclear Reactions, Light and Optics.

Physical Chemistry Topics: Atomic Structure & Periodicity, Chemical Bonding, Kinetics and Equilibrium, Thermochemistry, Gases, Fluids, Matter Transformations and Phase Equilibria, Solutions and Solubility, Acids and Bases.

Organic Chemistry Topics: Nomenclature, Isomerism, Hydrocarbons, Oxygen-Containing Molecules, Biological Molecules.

Biology Topics: Enzymes, Cellular metabolism, Molecular Genetics, Musculoskeletal system, Gastrointestinal System, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular System, Renal System.

After clarifying the criteria of assessment for both the argumentative and discursive types of GAMSAT essay questions, MedPrep’s 60 page printed and bound Home-Study GAMSAT Written Communication module, in concert with our optional online audiovisual Written Communication lectures, go on to propound a well conceived essay-writing methodology that has produced exceptional results for generations of MedPrep students. MedPrep’s method utilises quotation deconstruction and analysis, concept origination, idea integration, and the adoption of topic-independent stable essay architecture.This method, however, must be perfected through practice. Hence, in addition to the essay you write while taking the Diagnostic Simulated GAMSAT Exam, you will write sixteen additional GAMSAT essays. Eight of these are to be submitted to MedPrep online for professional analysis and critique while eight will be self-evaluated by comparison against corresponding model responses included in the course materials. Professional feedback on submitted essays will be available to students in an average of one week but can take up to 20 days during periods of heavy demand. In order to benefit from feedback, you are advised to submit essays for marking incrementally during your online access period rather than all at once at the end.

This 140 page printed and bound module of MedPrep’s Classic Home-Study GAMSAT Course addresses the Social Sciences and Humanities separately. GAMSAT Social Science material appears in various formats, including pictorial, graphical, and tabular representations of data. Common modes of data representation are reviewed in the Classic Home-Study GAMSAT Course notes followed by essential GAMSAT-style questions that advocate data analysis, extrapolation, and hypothesis construction. Success on GAMSAT Humanities is unlikely to be derived from ordinary passive reading. Hence, the Classic Home-Study GAMSAT course notes provide strategies to foster engagement with and comprehension of samples of sophisticated prose, poetry and editorial cartoons within a time management framework. Through practice with approximately 250 simulated GAMSAT questions corresponding to passages of personal, imaginative, expository and argumentative writing in addition to subtle poems and thoughtful cartoons, new skills are conditioned involving passage annotation, assessment of logical argumentative structure, subjective vs objective thinking, and question analysis.

Performing optimally on GAMSAT requires not only excellent cognitive and communications skills, but also tactical and strategic acumen. MedPrep’s Deluxe Home-Study GAMSAT Course contains three printed Test-Taking Strategy Documents, one for each section of GAMSAT. Tactics that may work in one section may not in another. Score enhancement is achieved through shrewd time management, intelligent speculation, logistical exploitation, and the insight that emerges from drill.

Three Full-Length printed Prognostic Simulated GAMSAT Exams, with detailed solutions to all questions, predict how you will perform on GAMSAT itself, thus providing a gauge of your exam-readiness and directing final study. One-third of detailed solutions are provided in print while two-thirds are made available online.
