I just sat my first Gamsat this march and Sections 1 and 2 went decent but Section 3 was horrible, I had a migraine, and I didn't understand any of the content. Would be cool if you could make a section 3 study guide, particularly what to do for new students, how to improve incrementally, and what resources to use including the effectiveness of paid resources. Thank you and lovely video!
Loved the video, thanks for sharing your experience🙌💯. One thing i wanted to confirm with you is that, with mcqs in section 1 and 3, there is no negative marking right? So if we have doubt between two, we can still answer without worrying about a mark penalty.
Thanks Adam! 2 questions Which med school did you go to? And rhetorical questions in Task A are pretty ill-advised and frowned upon, what are your thoughts on using them in task b?
Glad I can help! I went to Deakin. Regarding rhetorical questions, I think it’s case dependent. They’re never really something Ive opted for in my writing. I think if you are asking a rhetorical question of the reader, there can often be a better way of framing/phrasing the question you ask/issue at hand. Hope that helps!
Great video! Just a quick question. How do you feel about introducing your contention in essays by saying “I believe that” because I felt like looking back at some of my essays it might a little hard to identify the contention without prefacing it like that
Thanks! I definitely think that this is a good way to make your contention clear for assessors. For sure this isn't the most organic way of weaving your contention into your introduction but bottom line - your assessor has to be able to clearly see what you're contending. I feel that it's more important that your contention is crystal clear than necessarily how you word it. Hope this helps!
📍 Give this video a thumbs up if you like my face mug.
