ACER GAMSAT

What is a GAMSAT test?

A Graduate Medical School Admission Test GAMSAT is taken by the Australian Council for Educational Research ACER. This is a special test to assess the ability, knowledge, excellence, and intelligence of bachelor’s students who are now looking to enter Master’s or Ph.D. programs. GAMSAT is only taken from medical and health professional programs to assess the student’s ability to tackle difficulties and problems that they might come across in their degree (Master’s or Ph.D.) and to evaluate the reading, writing, understanding, and critical thinking skills of the student gained in previous degrees.

 All students must score a minimum of 50 points in each section of the test to be considered in any postgraduate program. You are not interviewed by the university for selection if you do not have a minimum of 50 points overall score in the GAMSAT.

When and where are GAMSATs held?

GAMSATs are held twice a year. The first sitting is in March and the second one is in September. Every year, GAMSAT is held in Ireland and the UK as well as Australia. The specific centers are allotted to the candidates according to their city.
