GAMSAT Section 3 Data Interpretation Problems

This tutorial tackles one of the most difficult yet high-scoring question types in Section 3 of the GAMSAT: Cognitive Loading. These questions challenge your ability to:

• Interpret multiple data types including 2 diagrams, 2 graphs, and 2 tables
• Use deductive reasoning to extract information from individual data sets
• Apply inductive reasoning to connect insights across different figures
• Identify patterns, relationships, and key variables in complex datasets

Why This Matters: Cognitive loading questions are:

• Becoming more common in recent GAMSAT exams
• Designed to test reasoning, pattern recognition, and synthesis, not just content knowledge
• Typically worth more marks because of their complexity

If you’re aiming for an 80+ in Section 3, mastering this skill is non-negotiable.
