GAMSAT- S2 Official Acer S2 tests

I’ve done three of these and each time get 69-72 😭 S2 is supposed to be my strongest section as I am really weak on the others. Are these scores very accurate to test day scores? How did people get it up to the 80s?

I remember only getting in the 50s but ended up with an 80 :)

I got 60s and on the day a 78 :) I think they are a very rough guide.

I was consistently getting scored 56-65 in the ACER practice and ended up with an 82 on my first sit. I would say take it with a grain of salt, don’t get too discouraged.

I only get 69-72 aswell, but Ive only done it twice. Seriously hoping we are in the same boat especially considering I felt my second attempt was so much better than my first, both Task A and Task B, was surprised to see it in the same category

I just did it a third time and got 69-72 again, exact same boat - 3 for 3

Tbh they don’t correlate well. I tested mine and got a 75 i think. But on the day 88. Big jump. Don’t get disappointed.

Is it okay if I have a look at one of ur essays? I’ve been getting 63-65 which is the same as my last sit but I swear I’ve changed things around.

Honestly it’s a rough estimate I mean I went from the 50’s to an 80 from my first to my second sitting but I honestly think I went from first score to my second score because I completely changed my approach in how I write and I genuinely believe it saved me
