History
GAMSAT was originally produced in 1995 by four Australian medical schools as a tool to select for candidates applying to study medicine.
In 1999, it was brought into use by British universities; St Georges, University of London first, and subsequently by others including the University of Nottingham, Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (Plymouth University and Exeter University), and the University of Swansea.
In the Republic of Ireland, the University of Limerick and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland adopted the GAMSAT for medical applicants starting with the 2007 enrolment cycle. It is currently used as the selection criteria for all graduate-entry programmes in Ireland (University College Dublin, University of Limerick, University College Cork, and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland).

“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
