Seeking Guidance: Should I Persist with GAMSAT or Explore Alternative Pathways?
I am a registered nurse in Australia, and I recently retook the GAMSAT exam. I scored 56 out of 100, which places me in the 49th percentile. I know that typically, a score of 63 (around the 73rd percentile) or higher is needed to gain admission to medical school. This was my second attempt at the GAMSAT, as I didn’t pass on my first try. I’m feeling unsure about whether it’s worth trying again or if I should focus on a different pathway. Can I realistically make it, or should I consider other options?
I am also considering applying to medical schools in the Philippines or other countries as an alternative pathway, with the ultimate goal of taking the AMC exams and practicing medicine in Australia. What advice or suggestions do you have about pursuing this approach and preparing for the AMC exams?
