Do You Know the Kinds of Questions Asked in GAMSAT
When I arrived on the scene from my exam hall, I heard a lot of comments related to section 1. Candidates said with frustration, "I hated Section 1", "I had a anxiety attack after i saw the huge passages" etc. I agreed together. I'd went through same trouble with section 1. So I decided putting my efforts on finding more details how you can face this section. I would like to share the information and tips which i have collected relating to this critical section here.
GAMSAT doesn't have structured study materials. Just the topics will be provided and also the questions is going to be asked to test out your intellectual property. The syllabus of section 1 had been mentioned as "Humanities and Social Science" however the questions is going to be asked from many general areas. The below are the fields where the questions will be asked.
Kinds of Questions
1. Non fiction texts 2. Fiction texts 3. Poetry 4. Proverbs / quotes 5. Cartoons 6. Diagrams / pictorial information 7. Tables / charts
You are able to score well by focusing on the above topics without any chaos. Candidates used to focus on all areas randomly and struggle with the unknown questions. This is actually the main reason that they couldn't continue time frame. Always section 1 would be not having enough time but this list would help you to become more specific.
The beautiful area that consumes tremendous amount of time is "Passage type of questions" in Section 1. There will be page long passages and the MCQs would be asked based on the passages.
The frustration of the candidates could be transparent on their own forum comments about the page long passages. Generally, we wish to "listen" than "read". You can easily remember what we hear. The majority of us are willing to listen if someone tells the storyline than reading it personally. It might be the reason for our frustration towards passages.
I would suggest you to only concentrate on the above areas and get ready for your exam well. You don't have of having into all the areas around the world. It consumes long hours but provides no benefits most of the time.
