I don't GAT it?

[Surgeon]

Although I'm not sure about the validity of this claim but a friend of mine actually told me today that he was speaking to a high-up teacher at our school and this teacher said that if you do well on the GAT (not sure how well you have to do), Monash University will add another NINE aggregate points to your ATAR when considering your application.

Once again, I'm not sure how true this is, so if anyone knows anything about this - please chime in!

Nah, it's actually 6.5

Wow, that's still excellent!

Do you have any more information in regards to the minimum scores you need on the GAT to benefit from the 6.5 aggregate points?

50s only unfortunately

Would my 50 for English from the GAT I did in Year 11 count?

Also, just one 50 gets you the 6.5?

hmmmm, not sure on those details tbh, sorry

GAT is an exam, and that means its important!

Study hard guys!!

6 am - 9 am (practice warm up!) get it marked by a shared assessor!

I feel like writing a completely philosophical, coherent piece of prose exploring the corruption of the individual in the 21st century.

Perhaps I'll give my assessor a whole new, fresh outlook on their life and where it's heading - resulting in me getting a perfect mark for the essay...


Tempting...

Ok I'm going to be a party-pooper and dare to write a genuine, humour-free post.
I don't think a lot of people really prepare for it because of mid-years taking up all their time and concentration. The GAT may help you (it also very well may not), you never know what happens tommorow. Nobody should go in and take it as a joke (although try and have a bit of fun while you do it :p). If you're in there for three hours, you may as well make the best of that time and try your hardest, you won't lose anything by doing this, if anything, it is the opposite.
Technically you can 'prepare' be doing past GATs, but really, only if you seriously have/had nothing else to do and in your case (OP), you had mid years to worry about. Even then it's not something you should go all out for and study hardcore. So relax and just do your best tommorow I'm sure you, and everyone else, is/are more than capable of writing essays and solving simple/general maths, science and humanities related questions.
