Strategic, affordable, empowering

Everyone can tell you that S3 is about “reasoning”…

But we’re the only ones with a framework that actually teaches you how.

Tired of hearing about ‘problem solving’ but not knowing what that actually looks like?

Drowning in mountains of practice questions & still struggling to translate this to performance on exam day?

We get it, ‘cause we’ve been in your shoes!

Our founder Lexi started her GAMSAT journey intimidated by ads for pricey & content-heavy Section 3 courses... and by failing her first few practice S3 exams! Lexi soon realised problem-solving, not content recall, was the key to S3 success.

One very popular reddit post and 100s of hours of tutoring later, Lexi distilled this insight into a powerful systematic reasoning framework for Section 3… Which is what you’re looking at right now!

We’ve cut the crap to focus on empowering you with what really matters for Section 3: changing how you think.

  • “It was a relief to find something that made S3 make sense.”

    Alex M | ★★★★★

  • "Unlike most guides which focus on content acquisition, Lexi's guide really shows us a systematic way with 'gameifying' hard complex questions into simple actionable steps that's easy to follow through! Your problem solving framework really did crack the system ... It made me improve my confidence as the questions before seemed hard and out of reach. Thank you so much Lexi!"

    Sam D | ★★★★★

  • "So impressed with its comprehensive and easy-to understand approach... This guide has been so helpful in truly understanding how to tackle any GAMSAT question in a systematic manner! I would be completely lost without it."

    Erika D | ★★★★★

  • "Loved this course. I felt like it 'held' me and provided some sort of security on the vast journey that is GAMSAT study. So much positive language, encouragement, realistic and practical tips. The interactive syllabus and timeline are worth it alone, let alone the framework that helps me feel in control problem solving!"

    Jess W | ★★★★★

  • “I loved the tactical advice… it empowered me to direct my own study & change my mindset.”

    T.Z | ★★★★★

  • "Loved the approach you've taken and understanding how ACER tricks us and its impact on medicine. Most of the time after doing a paper from ACER, I'd always be so bummed and crashing out most of the time, so this was very helpful- confidence, strategy, and a way of actually problem solving!"

    Anonymous | ★★★★★

  • "The guide is literally the best thing for people struggling with where to begin with S3, whether that's with what to study, how to study and how to tackle questions... I loved it, it changed my whole outlook on S3 and helped me not be so afraid of starting questions, even just reading questions used to freak me out, but with the framework now I have a system to follow. Very very grateful."

    Myda T | ★★★★★

  • "I really loved how to attack a question and not rely on content I've learned... this helped me realise all the information I had was right in front of me and that I just had to use some critical problem solving to help."

    Anne S | ★★★★★

  • "THIS IS INVALUABLE! It isn't like any course I have experienced… My confidence for section 3 has exponentially increased. I come from a non-science background and before this course, was very anxious about S3, but I now feel like I have a purposeful formula to tackle any question!!"

    Alex G | ★★★★★

  • "The problem solving framework in particular has improved my confidence to tackle S3 questions so much! It was clear cut- clarified convoluted statements into simple terms that could be understood and applied. The walkthroughs further helped in visualising the process to be followed for the problem-solving approach."

    Manon M | ★★★★★

  • "It is honestly amazing, real advice for real people. You don't have to be a genius to work section 3 questions out! Thanks for being so honest, you don't have to be a gifted person with an IQ of 200 to sit S3. Thank you"

    Gabriella B | ★★★★★

  • "As someone coming from a non-science background, this was invaluable in helping me to understand how I could apply basic science literacy and a calm, reasoned problem solving process to tackle most problems. I still have a lot of work to do but the tools helped me get to a point where I don't freeze when I see long, seemingly complicated questions. Thank you for this!"

    Annika L | ★★★★★

  • "It definitely opened up my eyes to a different way to approach GAMSAT… This framework and some targeted months of study using the strategies would result in a increase in score for anyone I'm sure. Much better than the courses I have done which leave you clueless and without any useful strategies to move forward. I highly recommend this course. "

  • The S3 Strategy Course covers the core principles of answering S3 questions.

    Here’s a run down of all the juicy topics you’ve got to look forward to:

    1. An in-depth analysis of how (and why) ACER constructs S3 questions.

    2. How to balance content knowledge with reasoning skills in S3.

    3. The simple change in tactic that can turn any student into a master of S3.

    4. What it means to problem solve, and the theory underpinning why and how S3 is a reasoning test.

    5. The exact cognitive skills needed to maximise your problem solving skills.

    6. How to identify, unpack, and overcome the ways ACER deliberately tricks you in S3.

    7. A detailed, clear, and reproducible framework for solving S3 questions, with video explanation.

    8. Descriptions of how to identify, understand, and answer every type of S3 question.

    9. Video walkthroughs applying the problem solving framework to core question types.

    10. Creative and effective study drills to optimise your cognitive skills for each step of the problem solving process, as well as every core question type.

    11. Strategies to optimise your S3 study process.

    12. Syllabus for determining exactly how much of each science literacy topic to learn.

    The course is delivered using an interactive online platform that integrates:

    • More than 30,000 words of strategic advice

    • More than 20 lessons, organised into simple chapters

    • >10hrs of video walkthroughs

    • Strategic activities and templates to apply what you’ve learnt

    The guide is pretty f*ckn incredible, if you ask us.

  • No.

    As the GAMSAT is a complex psychometric exam, we believe it is unethical to create or provide practice questions, as they will never be able to emulate those made by ACER.

    Rather than construct practice questions, we provide numerous templates and resources to help you make the most of the good practice questions that you already have access to.

    Our courses predominantly refer to the ACER materials, and supplement with others including the Des O’Neill 2014 PDFs.

    ACER materials must be purchased from their website. All other relevant materials are linked within the course.

  • We founded No Bullshit GAMSAT because we were doing private GAMSAT tutoring and weren’t happy with the cost barrier that it involved.

    We felt there must be a way to deliver the same transformative insights to students, but at a much lower cost.

    Thus, No Bullshit GAMSAT was born!

    The S3 Strategy Course contains information and resources equivalent to more than $500 of private tutoring sessions, but we’ve slashed the price to make it as accessible as we possibly can, whilst still meeting running costs.

    Wins all round!

  • The S3 Strategy Course was written and developed by Lexi, a 99th percentile GAMSAT scorer, current medical student, experienced skill-based GAMSAT tutor, and founder of No Bullshit GAMSAT.

  • The course is online and text-based, with accompanying videos and images.

    The course is delivered through a secure interactive platform, Thinkific.

    All payments and signups are processed through Thinkific. After purchase, you will be prompted to make a Thinkific account, allowing you to access the course directly.

    The associated templates are delivered via Notion, which is linked via the course.

  • You have access to the course for 12 months.

    This includes access to any and all updates over the year.
