GAMSAT Preparation Courses - Best Guidance For Good Score
The GAMSAT is scored for each of the three sections individually. The sections consisting of multiple choice questions are first scored wrong or right resulting in a raw score. Observe that wrong answers are worth the same as unanswered questions so ALWAYS ANSWER The questions even if you're not sure of certain answers. The raw score will be transformed into a scaled score which range from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). Essentially, the scores are scaled to ensure that the same proportion of individual marks within each section receive from year upon year (using Item Response Theory). The scaled score is neither a percentage nor a percentile. It is not possible to calculate the GAMSAT scoring system at home.
Section II is marked by three independent markers from each zone. A scale of 10 points is used. If there is a positive change of 5 or even more in two scores then an additional marker will be used. Ultimately, the three closest scores are averaged for the Section II raw score that is then converted to a scaled score.
You'll receive a score for each of the three sections, along with a general GAMSAT Score. The Overall Score is a weighted average of the three component scores.
Standards for interviews or admissions may vary for Sectional Scores and the Overall GAMSAT Score. For instance, one particular medical school may establish a cutoff (minimum) of 50 or 55 for just about any given Section and 60 for the Overall GAMSAT Score. Contact individual programmes for specific requirements.
The GAMSAT can include a small number of questions which will not be scored. These questions are generally used to calibrate the exam or put together to become either too ambiguous or too difficult to be counted or are trial questions which may be utilized in the near future. So if you see a question that you think is off the wall, unanswerable or inappropriate for your level of knowledge, it might very well be one of these simple questions so never panic! Not to mention, answer every question because guessing supplies a 25% possibility of being correct while not answering provides a 0% chance of being correct!
