GAMSAT Preparation Course Syllabus and Schedule
GAMSAT Course Syllabus
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.
PHYSICS - Scalars and Vectors, Force and Motion, Displacement/Time/Acceleration Graphs, Weight and Units (SI System), Friction, Applying Newton's Laws, Trigonometry, Projectile Motion, Work, Circular Motion, Work-Energy Theorem, Energy and Entropy, Momentum, Law of Torques, Fluids, Fluids in Motion, Archimedes' Principle, The Atom, Nuclear Reactions, Radioactive Decay and Half-Life, Electricity vs. Gravity, Electric Circuits, Kirchoff's Laws, Characteristics of Waves, Diffraction, Optics, Sound, Doppler Effect, Electromagnetism, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Reflection, Refraction, Thin Lens, Snell's Law, The Critical Angle
GENERAL CHEMISTRY - The Atom, The Periodic Table, Chemical Bonds, Hydrogen Bonds, Ionic and Covalent Bonds, Lewis Dot Structures, Multiple Bonds, Resonance, Molecular Polarity, Hybridization, Hybrid Orbitals, Gases, Avogadro's Law, Equation of State, Graham's Law, Liquids, Maxwell's Distribution Plot, Boiling, Melting Points, Le Chatelier's Principle, Solutions, Phase Diagrams, Raoult's Law, Boiling, Freezing Point Changes, Acids and Bases, Titrations, Oxidation Numbers, Solubility Product, Thermochemistry, Calorimetry, Thermodynamics, Hess's Law, Rate Law, Graphs: Reaction Orders, Energy Diagrams, Electrolysis, Electrochemical Cell
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Stereochemistry, IUPAC Nomenclature, Principles of Reaction Mechanisms (follow R, R’, R’’, R’’’, etc.), Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Alcohols, Ethers and Esters, The Carbonyl Group, Acetals/Ketals, Substitution, Carboxylic Acids, The Tetrahedryl Intermediate, Amides, Amino Acids, Protein Structure, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Elimination, Free Radicals, Redox Reactions, Aromatic Rings, Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Elimination vs. Substitution
