If preparing for the Australian or Irish Gamsat in March, we recommend that you complete the first task of Writing Better Essays and send, by email, the typed essays to us by 15 January. The deadline for acceptance of this first task is 1 February. If you are late in starting, enrol for the Short Course of 6 lessons but tasks 4 to 6 only. The deadline for the receipt of task 4 is 25 February.

If preparing for the UK Gamsat in September, we recommend that you complete the first task of Writing Better Essays and send, by email, the typed essays to us by 19 July. The deadline for acceptance of this first task is 5 August. If you are late in starting, enrol for the Short Course of 6 lessons but tasks 4 to 6 only.

Home Study Costs
Our pre-Gamsat courses: Writing Better Essays, Science Revision Course, Practising Humanities MCQs Course and Practising Science MCQs Course are all available by Home Study and prepare candidates for all versions of the Gamsat. You can purchase the courses separately but the postage to addresses outside Australia is cheaper if you buy them as a package.

There are two packages: the Silver and the Bronze.

You will need to add to the total package price a postal fee of AU$70 for postage to NZ, AU$90 for postage to Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong (i.e. Asia Pacific) or AU$150 to elsewhere in the world because the package of 4 books totalling more than 1700 pages weights close to 5 kg. 

Our science summary, the Prognostic Preparatory Test and the cost of individual courses as well as an enrolment form are in our free mailout which is sent to you by airmail.
