GAMSAT preparation · Free beta
Know what to practise next.
Practise with feedback on how you reached an answer, not just whether it was right. Verantrix shows you the step worth changing and checks whether the change held.
Full access during beta. No payment required.
A council trialled a four-day week for six months. It reported that staff took fewer sick days over the period, and that output on measured tasks was unchanged.
Which statement is best supported by the passage?
- The shorter week improved staff health.
- Fewer sick days were recorded during the trial.
- Output fell because staff worked fewer hours.
- Other councils would see the same result. (the answer this candidate chose)
Which of these is closest to your reasoning?
It looked like the obvious conclusion from the result.
The passage reports one council over six months. D applies that to councils it never measured. One thing to check on the next question is whether the option stays inside the group the passage actually describes.
A worked example
A right answer and good reasoning are not the same thing
The candidate above picked an option that sounds like the obvious conclusion. It is not supported by what the passage measured. Marks are lost there repeatedly, and a mark alone never says so.
Being told the answer was D rather than B settles one question and leaves the useful one open: what to do differently on the next question that looks like it. That is the part Verantrix works on.
Coverage
All three sections, each on its own terms
Section 1
Interpreting arguments, evidence and meaning in unfamiliar text. Practice is built around the step where an interpretation goes further than the passage allows.
TrainingSection 2
Write a full essay under a single timer, or practise one skill at a time with a short drill. Feedback says which part of the writing is holding it back.
Section 2 writingSection 3
Reasoning from scientific information you have not seen before, where the work is in the steps between the data and the answer rather than in recall.
TrainingTwo ways to practise
Learning and timed practice are kept separate
One is for working something out with help. The other is for finding out what happens without it.
Training
Untimed. You answer, say how confident you were, and see feedback on the step that decided it. Coaching is available while you work.
Simulated exams
Timed, with no coaching and no explanations until you submit. The timer keeps running if you refresh the page, so the conditions are the conditions.
Afterwards
Useful information about your practice
What you have done, what keeps recurring, and what is worth the next session. Verantrix does not predict a GAMSAT score, and nothing here is a guess dressed as a number.
Your answers, how confident you were, how long you spent and whether you changed your mind are all part of the picture. They are what makes a recurring pattern visible rather than a feeling.
Where the evidence is thin, it says so instead of drawing a conclusion from two questions.
What progress looks likeTrust
Why the content can be relied on
Human-approved answers
Correct answers and the reasoning behind them are written and reviewed by people. Coaching is supported by that reviewed content and by your own attempt.
Independent of ACER

Feedback can be wrong
It is a study aid, not a marker. If something looks wrong, tell us.
The beta
What joining actually involves
Who can join the beta?
Anyone preparing for the GAMSAT. There is no invitation, application or waiting list: you register and the platform is open.
What does it cost right now?
Nothing. The beta is free and you have full access to what is built. Paid packages are planned for launch and are described on the Plans page as planned, not charged.
What do I get access to?
Practice with feedback on your reasoning, timed simulated exams with a review afterwards, Section 2 essay practice with targeted drills, coaching, and a view of what your practice is showing.
How do I tell you something is wrong?
Use the contact page at https://www.verantrix.com/contact/. During the beta that feedback is the point: what you were doing, what happened, and what you expected is more useful to us than a rating.
