Deferrals
If you decide not to sit the GAMSAT cycle you have registered for, you can defer your registration to either the following March or September test cycle.
Deferral details and fees
Will I still be able to access my preparation materials if I defer?If you defer your registration you will continue to have access to your GAMSAT preparation materials for 12 months from the date the original GAMSAT registration was completed.
Can I apply for a refund after I have deferred my registration?
If you have deferred your sitting, you can only apply for a refund up to the refund request deadline for the original registration. In accordance with the refund terms above, except as otherwise permitted at law (where law is not capable of being excluded) if you have deferred your GAMSAT sitting, you cannot then apply for a refund after the refund request deadline. All people registered to sit GAMSAT will have a place reserved for them in a particular sitting of GAMSAT. The test fee submitted covers the cost of administering the test including the following test arrangements:.
- Securing your seat at the test venue (pre-booked and allocated at the time of your registration).
- Test set up (allocating your test login and preparation of test materials required by the test venue).
- Test supervision (pre-booked based on the number of test takers registered for each test centre at the close of the registration period.
These costs are unfortunately not refundable to ACER and are required to be paid irrespective of how many test takers attend. Therefore, a refund is not applicable as a refund may only be given where there is a defect with the service provided, not where you change your mind due to personal circumstances.

These remote proctored sittings will be conducted approximately two (2) weeks before the Humanities and Biological Sciences test centre sittings.
What if I’m not near a test centre?
Remote proctoring for Humanities and Biological Sciences is also available if you are located more than three (3)
hours’ drive from a test centre, or if you are located in a country where no GAMSAT test centre is provided.
Admission Ticket
