Once you’re done with the GAMSAT exam, you have the right to party and just enjoy the fact that the worst part is over. Unfortunately, once the excitement dies down, you may start to wonder what you should do next.
The GAMSAT was a massive exam, not just in terms of the amount of content that you need to study, but also the effect it has on your life. It took months upon months to prepare for, and now that it’s done, you might feel slightly empty as you wait for the results to be released.
The important thing is not to let the weight of the anxiety crush you. The result of the GAMSAT exam is very important, yes, but you can’t stop everything in your life until the day the result is released.
On that note, we’d like to recommend that you should just forget about the exam. Do not spend your time dwelling over what you can’t change. Instead, dedicate your time into something productive. Keep yourself engaged so you wouldn’t fall into the trap of not being able to move on from the GAMSAT exam.
There are some things that you can consider taking up as an activity while you wait for the GAMSAT results to be released. You can play, study, or perhaps even work. The important thing to remember is that you need to distance yourself from the GAMSAT, in order to give yourself time to get your life back to normal and not think about med school. You can get back in touch with your friends, pay more attention to your health, or get back into your hobbies. Once you’re all refreshed, you can start to think about your medical school application again.
You can also consider volunteering or ramping up your research experiences. These will help you when you’re in med school, and even when you’ve become a medical doctor. It will also help you meet people. Having connections is always a good thing.
All in all, you should give yourself a pat on the back for surviving the GAMSAT exam. You’re already a few steps ahead of many people, who tend to give up before even trying because of a fear of failure. Take some time off and enjoy. No matter what score you get when the results are out, you will learn more it, and you’re already one step closer to your destination.
