“What I liked the most about the Study Guide is that it untangled common struggles, clarified the myths, and provided detailed step-by-step instructions for writing a well-structured essay. This Study Guide helped me untangle the struggles of essay writing. It cleared up common myths and gave me a clear, step-by-step approach to structure my essays with confidence. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their S2 writing.”
Phoebe T
“An actionable framework that is realistic and does not impose overly tight expectations to write like a columnist - the reason I have been running away from writing essays.”
Vish P
“Loved how organised it was. I was having a hard time coming up with contentions for my essays, and this guide really helped me out!”

“I'd be lost without it! It well exceeded my expectations.”
Rob J
“Loved the walkthroughs in S1, and breakdown of each component of GAMSAT essay writing! Very helpful!!”
Madi N
“I liked that it was comprehensive and thorough, and was useful for organising my thoughts for S1. I liked learning the tips and tricks and how ACER manipulates the information to make us stress”
Ed N
“This guide cuts through the bullsh*t. A diamond of a resource for anyone confused or alarmed by the prevailing online discourse around GAMSAT success- especially to help with precise strategy for both humanities sections.”
Scott N
“The advice and template for thinking effectively and critically help my ability to adapt to any prompt or theme, rather than relying on a process to fit one thing. This is a guide to S2 that provided me with the clarity and confidence I need to think effectively and adapt under pressure in the short time that is left to prepare.”
Declan J
“The guide was excellent in helping you navigate this section in a critical and strategic manner, by not just focusing on how to write better, but to think and plan better. It has reshaped my approach to section 2 and I'm keen to implement the learnings when practicing my own essays. Would absolutely recommend if you're lost or plateauing and need a boost to advance in your study!”
Elly N
“Loved the example walkthroughs and drilling down on to what ACER is looking for/what to not waste your time on (e.g. evidence!)”
