GAMSAT preparation is a crucial step for any student to enter into the world of medical science
. Students who are serious about entering into the world of medical science must be very systematic in their approach. The GAMSAT is physically draining and it is in your best interest to be well rested when you take it. On the night before the exam, try to get a good night sleep. Eat breakfast! It will make it possible for you to have the food energy needed to go through the first two parts of the exam. Pack a light lunch. Avoid greasy food that will
make you drowsy. You do not want to feel sleepy for the afternoon. Do not study at lunch or only review your Gold Notes. You need the time to recuperate and rest. Eat, avoid the people discussing the test sections and relax! Avoid sugar-packed snacks as they will cause a "sugar low" eventually and will also make you drowsy. A chocolate bar or other sweet highly caloric food could, however, be very useful in the last section when you may be tired. The 'sugar low' will hit you only after you have completed the exam when you do not have to be
awake!
Avoid last minute cramming. On the morning of the exam, do not begin studying ad hoc. You will not learn anything effectively, and noticing something you do not know or will not remember might reduce your confidence and lower your score unnecessarily. Just get up, eat a good breakfast and go write the exam.
