  1. GAMSAT Reddit - How to Use Reddit for GAMSAT Preparation

  2. How to Use Reddit for GAMSAT Preparation • Going on social media is not a complete time waster, as there are ways to harness the power of social media to aid your learning. • Reddit contains a series of chat forums (known as “subreddits”) in which users can discuss various related topics. • There is a subreddit for virtually everything on Reddit, from electric outlets in weird places (r/purplecoco) to gaming (r/gaming) to GAMSAT (r/GAMSAT). Of course, some of these subreddits are more relevant to this article than others!

  3. Finding a community • The most relevant subreddit for most of you will be r/GAMSAT, as this subreddit is specifically for people sitting the GAMSAT (Australia, UK, Ireland); most users of this subreddit are Australian. • The r/GAMSAT subreddit is a good place to get advice and support from other people who are also sitting the GAMSAT, which should be helpful in finding study groups and obtaining resources from students who no longer need them. • Unfortunately, virtually every other medicine-related subreddit is centred around the US. This does not mean that these subreddits are not useful! Subreddits such as r/premed may be good for getting support (as well as a collection of memes about the application process, which may also aid in morale and motivation). Just be aware that a lot of the information may not necessarily apply to you.

  4. Finding essay inspiration • There are many subreddits in which news articles are regularly shared for discussion. As GAMSAT Section 2 topics tend to lend themselves well to discussing current events, taking a flick through some of these subreddits may help to give you an overview of what the typical issues are. Reading through the discussion may also give you an idea of the public sentiment, or some other points to think about. It's also a good way to practice breaking down GAMSAT essay stimuli. • But be careful: virtually all subreddits tend to be biased one way or another, and so you need to consider this when reading through the popular responses. • For Australian news, the most obvious subreddit would be r/australia. The capital city subreddits (r/perth, r/sydney, etc.) also occasionally share city-specific news. For world news, there is the r/news subreddit (though this tends to be heavily US-centric)
