What S3 is truly about

Excelling in the GAMSAT is not about learning the background knowledge of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Instead, understanding how they are fundamentally rooted in the scientific method when problem solving is the key to success.

We Teach Our Students

That the GAMSAT is interconnected on the core themes of

Spatial Geometry

Interactions between a critical variable and surrounding factors in a 3D physical space.

  • Chemical reactions in Organic chemistry
  • Analysing logic sequences in biological flow charts
  • Analysing circuit diagrams

Systems Equilibrium

Identifying the imbalanced variable in a closed system where the net effect is zero.

  • Vector analysis in forces and mechanics
  • Biophysics diagrams of waves and energy
  • Translational and rotational equilibrium in physics
<span>Systems</span> Equilibrium

Data Interpretation

Interpreting and evaluating independent, dependent and controlled variables in complex data sets.

  • Chemical kinetics and constructing data tables
  • Acids and bases and dealing with logarithmic data
  • Evaluating variables in biological experiments

Cognitive Loading

Long complex data stems that interweave all the skill clusters as a way of testing you on the highest levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.

  • Evaluating interconnected tables, diagrams and graphs
  • Applying the scientific method to long complex data stems
  • Decoding mixed science experiments
