Your help with Preparation Material =)

[Rxdealer]

Hi everyone, I'll be sitting GAMSAT in 2005 and was wondering if anyone has any preparatory material they're willing to part with? I'm a very nice person and I promise that I will look after your prep material. If you can help me out in any way, please e-mail or PM me - or even reply to this thread.

I live in Sydney and am prepared to pay for postage if you live outside of Sydney.

Thank you,
Lawrenzo

I didn't use any formal prep material at all and had no science background to speak of (since grade 10... seriously). I just used introductory level university textbooks on physics, biology and chemistry. But remember that you need to do well ont he English side of things so read up on how to write an essay etc if that's not a strong point and practice writing a couple of essays. The topics tend to be generic- i.e. the value of family etc.
My tips for the essay: MAKE SURE YOU WRITE ON THE TOPIC. if you get off topic it's better to stop and start another essay than continue to waffle...

Anyway, I managed to prepare well enough with basic textbooks adn am just about to finish internship...

Well done DrIng! That's certainly very encouraging to read!!! I must say that my essay writing skills are lacking somewhat. Can you suggest any good books that can help me with this regard?

What are you intending to specialise in?

Sorry, the essay writing bit was my strength- I'd say any book from a university library on essay writing should do. Just basically write on topic, decide early on a theme and use topic sentences for each paragraph and write something resembling a conclusion.
I'm looking at going in to psych. Good Luck.
