The best GAMSAT books are reviewed under "GAMSAT Review Books" and "GAMSAT Tests" below. Then you will have 3 choices to get your review study guides quickly to the UK, Ireland, Australia or other: (1) you can purchase the best study guides and materials either directly through the MCAT Bookstore (GAMSAT 2011); (2) the eBay Marketplace (used or new books; the best prices by far; very easy to register even if it's your first time); or (3) you can purchase the best new 2011 Edition guides directly above with very reasonable postage rates (The Gold Standard is a hard cover textbook in colour weighing 3 kilograms! So the whole package is heavy but the price is cheap for what you get).
Ace the GAMSAT!
All you need is 3 things to ace this exam: Time, a solid GAMSAT Review, and realistic GAMSAT Exams.
Time
How much time do you need? Pretty easy. First get your review and exams together and start working. Reassess after one week. Because there is only a limited amount of review books and exams (good ones at least), you'll know after one week how much more time you'll need to complete your review. On average: 3 to 6 months.
GAMSAT Review
The first GAMSAT textbook ever was made available online and in participating bookstores in the summer of 2010. It covers all sections of the exam including a workbook/practice approach to Sections I and II and a complete Section III review in colour (all topics in detail). A full length practice (simulated) pull-out test (paper) is also included.GAMSAT Exams
The Gold Standard GAMSAT contains a full length practice paper with worked solutions. More full length practice tests are available at GAMSAT-prep.com. Of course, an essential part of your preparation includes the practice papers which come from ACER, the Australian Council for Education Research. You can order here.
