Hi guys,

I have just completed the Des O'Neil full practice test and got scores of:

Section I : 48/75
Section III: 67/110

And I just wanted some frame of reference for how I'm going. Did anyone else do this test? Should I be scared going in to the GAMSAT with a Science score like that if I want to get into UQ?

I know you can't simply use your percentages, or a raw score, but I am finding it really difficult to study without some kind of benchmark for where I'm at.

Help!!!

Hey lps,

My post is pretty late (sorry), but I thought I'd reply anyway. Better late than never I reckon=).

You're absolutely right in saying that it's difficult to evaluate our levels of success without a standard, and then there's the added drawback of the practice tests not really resembling the actual gamsat (this is according to others who have said the real test is more challenging, although I wouldn't know).

Anyway, I partially completed an Ozimed practice test yesterday. I didn't end up finishing section III and only got through 55 questions before dozing off (170min is exhausting!) Shocked

...

Section I: 55/75
Section III: 40/55 attempted

Good luck with your preparation!
