I'm Ava and I'm a recent medical school graduate at the University of Melbourne. I started vlogging at the start of 2022 to document the remaining half of my medical school journey and to create lasting memories! Welcome to my channel :)

tips 1. write untimed essays- focus on high quality essays- diversifying language (express that theme in a variety of ways and try not to sound redundant), unique ideas, start creating banks of evidence that you can apply to a variety of essays. read the school of life. 2. do a acer practice exam to gauge how questions are asked. 3. practice questions before studying content. the exam is more application based thank you think. 4. track your progress and create a spreadsheet 5. let the questions you are doing guide what you should cover (go watch tutorials and don’t isolate the process). a lot of this is deductive reasoning and a lot is mathematics based. practice your maths.

*IMPORTANT* New changes have been made to the GAMSAT exam! Below are some changes to note (for more details, please refer to the ACER GAMSAT info guide linked in the description box): - The GAMSAT exam will now be divided into 2 separate testing windows: The 1st window is for Written Communication, and the 2nd window will be for Reasoning in Humanities & Social Sciences and Reasoning in Biological & Physical Sciences. The tests are spaced out in between two weeks. - Written Communication (S2) will be conducted first via remote proctoring, and the remaining sections (S1&S3) will be completed together in person at a testing centre. - S1 & S3 can also be taken online if you live 3 hours or more away (driving distance) from the closest testing venue. - Written Communication consists of 2 writing tasks to be completed in 65 minutes. - Reasoning in Humanities & Social Sciences has 62 questions in 100 minutes, and Reasoning in Biological & Physical Sciences has 75 questions in 150 minutes

Would a 75 WAM in BSci at Melbourne university in tandem with a high percentile GAMSAT result be enough for entry into post graduate medical school at melb uni?

oh, and don't forget the interview obviously! A good GPA and GAMSAT will get you an interview which you have to do well in to get in to med

Hi Ryan! Melbourne medical school alongside the rest of postgraduate courses look at your GPA and not your WAM :) I recommend calculating your GPA and looking at the spreadhseet I posted in one of my Q&A videos that shows the scores of previous successful applicants. Good luck!
