How I studied for the GAMSAT

How I studied for the GAMSAT. This is not a 'how to' but more of an insight into studying for this exam and a chance for hear from a real-life-not-paid-person who is not selling any GAMSAT material, who has really had to study for this exam. Good luck everyone!

In this video I discuss how I studied for the GAMSAT. This is not meant to be a perfect strategy for the this test, but I think like much of the medicine application process, it's useful to hear from a 'real life person' who has been through all of this.

Good luck everyone!
