GAMSAT & GPA score calculator
Work out your weighted GAMSAT and your GEMSAS weighted GPA the way schools actually calculate them — then see, honestly, roughly where that puts you.
GAMSAT section scores
Scaled, roughly 50–90
GPA by year
On the 7-point scale
Weighted overall GAMSAT
65.0/ 100
Some schools use the unweighted mean instead: 64.3
GEMSAS weighted GPA
6.15/ 7.0
The most recent year counts most — final year is weighted triple.
Where your cheapest points are
You are 5.0 overall points short of 70. Section III is double-weighted, so a point there is worth two points of Section I or II — which makes the same target cost half as much work.
- Section III+10.0 → 77.0
- Section I+20.0 → 82.0
- Section II+20.0 → 84.0
need 70 − 65.0 = 5.0 overall
S1 or S2 move the overall by ¼ per point → 5.0 × 4 = 20.0
S3 moves it by ½ per point → 5.0 × 2 = 10.0
This is division, not a prediction. It rearranges ACER's published weighting — overall = (S1 + S2 + 2×S3) ÷ 4 — around the scores you entered. It does not say what you will score, how long any of it takes, or whether you have the time.
Where you'd roughly stand
Indicative only · not cutoffsYou're in a workable middle band. Lifting whichever of GAMSAT or GPA has the most headroom would push you toward the more competitive range at more schools — and Section III, weighted double, usually moves the GAMSAT fastest.
Zones are illustrative. Real entry combines GAMSAT, GPA, interview and the year's applicant pool — and differs at every school.
How are these numbers used?
Most graduate-entry medical programs in Australia consider your weighted GAMSAT and your GEMSAS weighted GPA together, then use the combination — alongside an interview — to make offers. Because Section III is doubled in the GAMSAT and the most recent year is tripled in the GPA, those two levers move your standing the most.
We deliberately don't publish exact cut-offs. They shift every year with the applicant pool, vary by school, and combine with factors a calculator can't see. Treat the band above as a rough orientation, not a verdict.
The formula this calculator applies
Your overall score is a weighted average in which Section III counts double: Overall = (S1 + S2 + 2×S3) ÷ 4 — exactly what the calculator above computes. A few universities recompute an unweighted average instead, and ACER scales raw marks for each sitting's difficulty, so the same percentage correct can map to slightly different scaled scores from one exam to the next.
Full guide: how GAMSAT scoring worksHow does GEMSAS weight your GPA?
For most graduate-entry programs in the GEMSAS consortium, your GPA is reported on a 7.0 scale and the three most recent full-time years are weighted 1 : 2 : 3 — your most recent year counts the most, and your earliest of the three counts the least. So a weighted GPA is (1·Y₃₋ₗₐₛₜ + 2·Y₂₋ₗₐₛₜ + 3·Yₗₐₜₑₛₜ) ÷ 6. Eligibility rules, full-time load requirements and how prior degrees are treated vary, so always confirm against the official GEMSAS admissions guide.
Reading the number it gives you
As a rough guide: the middle of the pack sits in the mid-to-high 50s on our estimates (ACER publishes no official average), the mid-60s are competitive for many medical programs, and 70+ sits near the top of the cohort. Cut-offs move year to year, so treat any number as a target to train toward — not a guarantee. To see where one overall lands on that spread, the GAMSAT percentile calculator draws it on a 40–84 scale and labels the estimate as an estimate. And a target only means something once it's scheduled: the free study planner turns the hours you actually have into a week-by-week plan around the real sitting dates.
Full benchmarks: what counts as a good scoreHow each program reads the same score
The overall above is only one way of reading your three sections. Some programs use ACER's weighted overall (Sciences ×2), some recompute an unweighted average, and some look at each section separately — so the same sitting can read several points apart from one school to the next. The explorer below computes your number the way each program computes it, and checks your scores against every published floor — the minimums a school publishes to accept an application.
Weighted overall 65 · unweighted 64.3 · ≈ 82nd percentile (in-house approximation — ACER publishes no percentile table)
Pre-filled with the example scores from the calculator above — replace them with yours. Leave GPA blank if you don't have one yet.
Floors are minimums to apply — clearing them does not mean an interview or an offer. Competitive cut-offs are set by each year's applicant pool and mostly aren't published. This table only restates published rules against the numbers you entered — it makes no claim about outcomes.
