The GAMSAT Score
You will receive a score for each of the three sections, together with an Overall GAMSAT Score. The Overall Score will be a weighted average of the three section scores.
Each of the four GAMSAT scores will be expressed on a scale of 0 to 100. (These are not percentage marks.)
The Overall GAMSAT Score will be calculated using the following formula:
Overall Score = (1 x Section I + 1 x Section II + 2 x Section III) ÷ 4.
Note: Overall Scores are calculated by ACER to several decimal places and then rounded. It is not possible for candidates to replicate this process.
To assist you in evaluating your test performance your scores will be accompanied by a chart enabling you to calculate an approximate percentile ranking for your Overall Score.
To be considered for interview for admission to the graduate-entry programmes at St George’s and Nottingham, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 55 in Section II, and 55 in either Section I or Section III with a minimum of 50 in the other section. Thresholds for entry to Peninsula may differ from this. Please contact Peninsula for further information. A high score in one section cannot compensate for a poor score in another section. Swansea will use GAMSAT results as part of the admission process, but not to determine who will be invited to interview. Please refer to the Medical Schools for additional information on interpretation of scores.
Scores are scaled by ACER to make them directly comparable from year to year.
Candidates will not be provided with any additional information on scores or the scoring process. All information remains the property of GAMSAT and no right of inspection will be deemed to be vested in a candidate.
