Did you

know?

Separate tutors in each subject are picked for their depth of subject knowledge as well as their ability to communicate this. It would be unusual for one person to be able to have the background or skill level within two or even all three of the science subjects at the level required for GAMSAT

GRADMED was the first organization in the UK and Ireland to begin offering specific GAMSAT preparation courses

We have been helping students to achieve
GAMSAT success since 2001 in the UK and 2007 in Ireland

We are a dedicated real company based in South Kensington, London. We are always here to help and advise irrespective of you joining one of our courses

We believe the best way to give advice is through direct contact. Please feel free to telephone us on 020 7584 5818 during office hours

Over the years more than 1000 individuals have benefited from our specialist preparation

On average some 72% of students following our preparation courses are successful in obtaining the cut off score in the UK

GAMSAT is a unique examination and we are dedicated only to GAMSAT, unlike many virtual companies who adopt MCAT or other material not related to GAMSAT

Our success rate of 72% is equally divided between both scientists and those from an arts or social science background

Our tutors all have direct experience and knowledge of the GAMSAT examination

Students on our courses make use of hundreds of specifically written sample questions, produced by tutors from their GAMSAT experiences. This is in addition to over 1000 pages of notes that are unique to the course

GAMSAT is not MCAT and our syllabus content follows the very specific
requirements of this demanding examination
