Description Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test: GAMSAT is a professionally designed and marked selection test developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) for some medical schools offering graduate-entry (but not postgraduate) programmes and is open to graduates of any discipline. The purpose of GAMSAT is to assess ability to understand and analyse material, to think critically about issues and, in the case of the Written Communication section, to organise and express thoughts in a logical and effective way. GAMSAT questions are based on material drawn from a variety of sources. They typically require candidates to read and think about a passage of writing, to interpret graphical displays of information, to use mathematical relationships and to apply reasoning skills to tables of data. Problem solving is a major focus of the test.
