Most GAMSAT preparation is sold by the kilogram: a thousand questions, a shelf of textbooks, a course priced like a holiday. Very little of it raises a score. What follows is the part that does.
The exam
A minority of schools weight all three equally, so check the ones you are applying to. For most people the doubling should decide how the hours get spent.
Where to start
Almost every question asks one of four things, and the wrong answers fail in predictable ways. Knowing which four saves you the second read.
10 stimuli · 24 questions →Section IIFour quotes, thirty minutes. What you end up writing is largely settled by whether you named the disagreement in the first two.
86 themes · 344 quotes →Section IIIFirst-year science wrapped in unfamiliar stimulus. Nearly everything you need is printed on the page; the difficulty lies in reading it quickly.

It means refusing work that does not pay. Four ideas run through everything on this site.
You cannot revise your way to a Section I score, and memorising will not carry you through Section III. Both reward a small set of moves performed quickly under pressure.
Every question here runs against a clock: about 1 min 37 s for Section I, 2 min for Section III. Working slower rehearses a pace you will not have on the day.
A percentage tells you nothing you can act on. The reason a particular wrong answer tempted you does, so every item explains all four options rather than just the key.
Real ACER papers are the best resource in existence and there are very few of them. Spending one in week one, before you have any technique, wastes it.
The plan
Built around the weighting rather than the calendar. Week by week, what to do and what to leave out.
