Validity of Results |
|
|
GAMSAT scores are valid for two consecutive years. This means that candidates may apply for admission to the graduate-entry schools up to two years after the date on which they sit the test. For example, results from GAMSAT 2010 will be valid for application to a graduate-entry medical, dental, pharmacy or optometry program commencing in 2011 and/or 2012, but not in 2013. There is no restriction on the number of times a bona fide candidate may sit GAMSAT. If you have two valid GAMSAT scores, you may use whichever you prefer in applying for admission to medical or dental school, pharmacy or optometry. The University Admissions Committees will not have access to your GAMSAT scores from other years.
In making your decision you should bear in mind that the Admissions Committees may set thresholds for the Section scores as well as for Overall Scores. If you are uncertain which result to use on your application, you should check the websites of your preferred schools for guidance. |

Appeals |
|
|
The GAMSAT Office will not enter into appeals against GAMSAT results. Requests for remarking will not be considered. Should you wish to query a particular test question on the day of the test, you should alert the supervisor to your concern and submit a written note before you leave the test centre. Your query will be reviewed by the GAMSAT Office and you will be notified of the outcome. If necessary your correspondence will be forwarded to the GAMSAT Ethics Committee. Similarly, any complaints relating to the testing venue or physical discomfort suffered should be reported to the supervisor on the day, or in writing to the GAMSAT Office within seven days of the test administration.
It is not possible to give special consideration for impaired performance on the day of the test caused by illness or other unexpected personal situations. |
