Hi! I'm Suki. I sat the GAMSAT once in September 2024, achieving 71/85/97 and an 87 overall. I will be starting the MD at Sydney Uni next year.
Drawing on my own GAMSAT preparation experience, I found Section 2 the most overwhelming. I just didn't know where to start, and online videos compounded the panic by presenting Pulitzer prize-winning examples and no systematic means of getting there. Whether you're worried about time, structure, expression or content, my approach to Section 2 addresses all four. Throughout my preparation, I created an extensive bank of examples, arguments and ideas from a range of podcasts, books and philosophical texts. Not only did this help me formulate essays that were more nuanced and complex, but I believe it dramatically improved the quality and speed of my writing. In the process, I feel that I have developed an effective and reproducible approach to Sections A and B of Section 2.
Section 2 is your opportunity to reveal your capacity to view complex issues from multiple perspectives and demonstrate how your identity has been shaped by lived experience. Using my ideas bank as your foundation, we can use each lesson to examine a theme, analyse it from a global and personal perspective and clarify specific examples that can be adapted to related prompts. I'll also bring along essays/reflections that we can deconstruct to see how complex discussions can be structured into cohesive arguments. Over time, this will not only help you develop a bank of insightful examples and personal experiences, but will enhance your depth of analysis and mode of expression.
Between lessons you can use these materials to develop a set of Section A and B responses. For an additional $20 per response, you can email me your work and I will provide specific, detailed written feedback before our next lesson.
I'm happy to tutor over Google Meets or in-person.
