Hello everyone,

I’m Yashasvi Lohan, a first-year Doctor of Medicine student at the University of Notre Dame, and a GAMSAT tutor for Section 1 (68) and Section 2 (86), having scored 73 overall in my best sitting.

I still remember doom scrolling Reddit and seeing posts that called the GAMSAT an irrelevant exam, yet each section rehearses skills doctors use every day: Section 1 tests evidence-based judgement, and Section 2 tests your ability to firstly look at the world through a unique lens and then share that vision with the examiner by articulating it onto paper. Once I realised that, I stopped cramming random ACER papers and started sharpening those abilities. My study method focuses on proving to yourself and examiners that you will be an excellent doctor, not just an ideal medical school applicant on paper because that is the difference between a fluke and a well-earned GAMSAT score.

Medicine-centred mindset

Section 1 tests the clinical habit of weighing evidence before acting. We practise reading like a diagnostician: identify the text type, isolate the author’s intent, and apply a small set of logic templates that cover almost every ACER question style. You’ll leave with a pattern-spotting reflex—not with a pile of one-off tricks.

Section 2 as professional communication

Great doctors translate complexity into language patients trust. For GAMSAT essays, we do the same: collect ideas from history, philosophy, culture, or personal experience and assemble them into a clear argument with a voice that sounds like you, not a template. We’ll refine structure, tone and timing until you can draft a coherent response in 25 minutes without reaching for clichés.

I didn’t cram vocabulary lists or memorise sample essays. I trained to think more critically, read more widely, and articulate ideas more precisely. That mindset lifted my scores and will serve me throughout my career; it’s exactly what I pass on to students.

What you can expect from me

• Tailored diagnostics to pinpoint strengths and blind spots, so every session targets measurable gains.
• Proven frameworks for each Section 1 text type and a step-by-step essay scaffold for Section 2 – flexible enough to showcase your individuality.
• Timed drills, detailed feedback, and iterative rewriting until progress is obvious
• Ongoing mentorship on everything that circles the exam: application timelines, resilience after a tough practice test, or just a yap!

If you’re looking for guidance that sharpens your reasoning and writing while laying foundations for life in medicine, we’ll work well together!
