Gradmed London Student Comments

I have been meaning to get in contact with you guys to thank you for all of your invaluable help with not only the GAMSAT but also what I would call ‘after care’. As this was the first time I had sat GAMSAT or anything of its kind, I was overjoyed to have got a score of 62, which meant I was able to get offers for interview for all my choices (Nottingham, St George’s and Peninsula). As it turns out I received offers from Nottingham and St George’s (my preferred choices) before my interview for Peninsula and so withdrew my application there. I am currently looking forward to starting medical school in Nottingham in September and am in no doubt that a large part of my good fortune is down to the GRADMED team, and as such have been a large advocate of yours when encouraging friends who wish to sit GAMSAT in the coming years. I cannot stress my gratitude to you all enough for your help and support through what has been a very stressful but ultimately rewarding time and I shall continue to express that to others. Martha Berhanu, score 62 I got 65, which I’m pleased with! Couldn’t have done it without the course! Thanks for all your help. Andrea Potter, score 65 I received an overall score of 66. With it being my first time sitting the GAMSAT and being from a non- science background I was absolutely ecstatic about these results. The course itself, and in particular the skills picked up along the way in terms of strategy, maths tricks and just learning to think differently, were invaluable. There’s no way I could have achieved the score I did with just three months study and as a beginner in physics and chemistry without the course. Thank you again for everything. Laura Stephen, score 66 It hardly seems like almost a year since the GradMed course. I thought I’d email to say a big thank you to all the team! I was invited to 3 interviews – St George’s, Swansea and Nottingham. I was then offered a place at both Nottingham and Swansea! I’ve accepted the offer at Nottingham and begin the course in September. I really don’t think I would have performed so well in the GAMSAT without the GradMed course. So thank you again to all involved, both teaching the course and behind the scenes organizing everything. Ciaran Magee, score 61

Thanks very much for all your help, I couldn’t have done it without you. Please also pass on my thanks to the lecturers, who were excellent. Jonathan Emett, score 67 I did well! In fact I got 70! Thanks so much for all your help. Sam Heaney, score 70 I thought I had failed but got 67! However, I am aware that there is no way that I would have had any kind of chance without the prep course and will be eternally grateful to the tutors and to all of you for your support. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Again thanks to all of you and especially to Maria for being the ear on the end of the phone when needed. Charlie Andrews, score 67 The Gradmed course gave me the confidence to know that I had a chance of getting through and picking up points on, what was for me, the most dreaded chemistry part of section III! Carina Bartlett, Score 68 I got 64! The strongest card I felt I had, thanks to the GradMed course, was that I could not be surprised by any of the questions! I could have wasted valuable time or even worse, panicked, had I not been given insight into techniques and approaches on those long summer weekends. I am in no doubt that without the course I would’ve sunk. James Bowthorpe, score 64 I scored 63 in my GAMSAT and I received an offer from Peninsula medical school. I am also on a reserve list elsewhere. I owe my good score in the GAMSAT to the excellence of the GradMed course. I traveled down from Scotland 3 weekends in a row to attend the course, it was definitely worth the time and the money. Jenny Clark, score 63 I managed to get 63, so thanks for all your help you gave me. Melissa Thomas, score 63
