Materials · what officially exists

GAMSAT past papers

The short answer is that they do not exist. ACER has never released a sat GAMSAT paper, and it does not intend to. What it sells instead is a small, specific set of practice material — and what circulates online under the name “past paper” is something else entirely.

What you are actually looking for, and what is actually available

No GAMSAT paper is ever released after it is sat. There is no archive, no released back-catalogue, and no equivalent of a past exam paper in the school sense.

ACER produces the only official preparation material and states so directly: “ACER produces the only official GAMSAT preparation materials.” Two practice tests, some interactive versions, and a set of free items. That is the entire legitimate supply.

What ACER actually sells

Prices from ACER’s published tables. You do not need to be registered to buy any of it.

ACER published prices, verified 28 July 2026. The e-books are full-length equivalents of the Humanities and Biological Sciences tests, roughly 4 hours 10 minutes under exam conditions, with answers for all questions. The online tests contain new questions not published in the e-books.

Two things worth knowing before you buy anything. First, Practice Test A is already included in your registration fee — a number of people buy it twice. Second, ACER states that “the content of the preparation materials does not change from year to year” unless it says otherwise, so last year’s purchase is not out of date and there is no annual re-buy.

There are also no refunds on preparation materials, and ACER explicitly excludes any change-of-mind cooling-off period because access is granted on payment.

The PDFs circulating online

Search for GAMSAT past papers and you will find files. They are typically one of three things: an ACER e-book someone has uploaded, a prep provider’s question bank someone has uploaded, or a set of questions transcribed by candidates from memory after sitting.

We are not going to link to any of them, and the reason is not squeamishness about copyright. It is that all three categories are bad preparation, and two of them carry real risk to you rather than to the uploader:

  • ACER’s licence is personal and non-commercial, limited to two hard copies, and expressly prohibits uploading its material to third-party or AI platforms. Downloading a redistributed copy is receiving material distributed in breach of that licence.
  • Reusing test content is defined misconduct.ACER’s rules cover the reproduction and distribution of test material, and its sanctions include cancelling results and refusing future registrations. It also reserves the right to refuse or cancel the registration of anyone with a conflict of interest.
  • Memory-transcribed questions are simply wrong. They are reconstructed under stress, weeks later, by people who did not know the correct answer at the time. Practising against a subtly incorrect stimulus with a confidently wrong answer key is worse than not practising.

ACER’s own view of the wider preparation market

Worth quoting, because it is unusually blunt and almost nobody in this market repeats it. ACER says it produced its free preparation videos “after observing some doubtful claims made by GAMSAT commercial preparation courses, YouTubers and others regarding the soundness, reliability and ability to assist you in respect of their materials.”

We are a third party too, and that statement applies to us as much as to anyone selling a course. It is why our scope and limitations page exists, and why nothing on this site is presented as officially endorsed.

What to use instead

In the order we would actually use them.

  1. The free official material first. The preparation videos, the platform demo and the Information Booklet cost nothing and come from the people who write the exam. Most candidates skip them.
  2. Practice Test A, which you already own if you have registered.
  3. Timed practice on unfamiliar material — which is the thing a past paper would have given you, and the thing this site is for. We hold 139 original multiple-choice questionsacross both scored sections, written from scratch to ACER’s published style and skills list, never transcribed from any paper.
  4. Practice Test B and the online replicas if you want more official material after that.

The honest framing: nothing replicates a real paper, because no real paper is available to anyone. What matters is whether the material trains the right skill under the right clock, and on that basis a well-written original question is worth more than a badly remembered real one.

Frequently asked questions

Does ACER release past GAMSAT papers?

No. No sat GAMSAT paper has ever been released. ACER sells two practice tests, A and B, which are full-length equivalents rather than papers that were actually sat.

Where can I download GAMSAT past papers for free?

Nowhere legitimately, and we will not point you at the files that exist. What is genuinely free is ACER’s preparation videos, its platform demo and the Information Booklet — plus Practice Test A if you have registered, which many people do not realise they already have.

Are the practice tests updated each year?

No. ACER states the content does not change from year to year unless specified, so an older purchase remains current and there is no need to re-buy.

Is it illegal to download a GAMSAT paper someone uploaded?

We are not in a position to give you legal advice. What we can say is that ACER’s licence is personal, non-commercial and prohibits redistribution, that reusing test content falls under its misconduct rules, and that its sanctions include cancelling results and refusing future registrations.
