I'm pretty sure its 100. Good luck with that.

Wink

Anything over 63 or 64 is a great score.

The max score should logically be 100... but anything above 50 can lead you to an interview!
Cheers!

Hi medica,

prepgenie and Lovebite are right, the maximum overall score that is theoretically possible on the GAMSAT is 100.

The following is taken straight from the ACER website:

"Candidates receive a score for each of the three Sections, together with an Overall GAMSAT Score. The Overall Score is a weighted average of the three component scores.

Each of the four GAMSAT scores is expressed on a scale of 0 to 100. These are not percentage marks.

The Overall GAMSAT Score is calculated using the following formula:

Overall Score = (1 × Section I + 1 × Section II + 2 × Section III) ÷ 4."

Thus, the maximum can be attained if you get 100 on all 3 sections, and of course, the overall score would then be 100 as well.

But what really matters is your percentile ranking, and the good news is you don't need to get the maximum overall score to be at the 100th percentile. Smile

Just do your best. Good luck!

Best regards,
GAMSAT Tutor
