Timing and order of the test |
|
|
A full day will be needed to sit GAMSAT. This is made up of five and a half (51/2) hours of testing time and one hour of recess time.
In addition, pre-testing procedures will take some time to complete. Therefore it is not possible to guarantee start and finish times. Care should be taken when making return travel arrangements to allow adequate time at the test centre. You should not anticipate being at the test centre for less than 8 hours. There will be a short break between Sect I & II, candidates will not be permitted to leave the testing room. But may stand and stretch at their desks. A lunch break of one hour between Section II and Section III. (Please note: Candidates will not be permitted to leave the test room during the short morning break.) There is no break during the afternoon session of Section III. The table below shows the structure of GAMSAT by section and time. |

Identification |
|
|
On the day of the test you will be required to present an original identification document (in which the photograph is recognisable as a likeness of you as you are today).
The only acceptable documents are: - a valid passport, or
- A current driver’s licence (if this includes a photograph)
- A certified letter of identification. This letter must be on official institution/employer letterhead and contain your name, date of birth, signature and title of the official verifying the identification, as well as your own signature. A passport photo glued to the letter with institution/employer stamp overlapping the photo.
If you do not present one of the above approved identification documents, together with your Admission Ticket, you will not be able to sit GAMSAT. Photocopied documents are not acceptable.
