The document provides a syllabus for a GAMSAT course covering topics in math, physics, chemistry, and biology. It lists topics that will be covered in each subject area, including scalars and vectors in physics, chemical bonds and solutions in general chemistry, and organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. The syllabus is meant to guide students in both course materials and self-directed learning to prepare for the GAMSAT exam.

The following topic list (syllabus) is meant to be comprehensive but not
exhaustive nor definitive. Consider it a guideline for topics that we are expected to cover as a result of stimulus material reviewed in class and course materials. You may also use the following GAMSAT science syllabus as a guide if you are pursuing self-directed learning. All of our courses and materials,including the Gold Standard GAMSAT textbooks, follow the natural flow to learn GAMSAT science which is the following order: GAMSAT Math (basic algebra), Physics, General then Organic Chemistry, and ultimately, Biology. Also note that a key GAMSAT skill is the analysis and interpretation of graphs, diagrams and tables, which is an integral part of our courses and videos.
