Hi Jesse! Thanks for the great video. I find these super helpful for my gamsat study and appreciate the work you put in. If you get a chance, would love to see a sample question walkthrough on acids/bases and logs. Thanks again!

Fantastic to hear, Michelle and a great suggestion! I'll try to work on this this week. Turnaround times on videos are a little slower at the moment being peak GAMSAT period 😅

Thanks for all your hard work Jesse. GAMSAT no being a digital exam, we wont be able to scribble on the graph image on the computer screen to aid in calcs. Any alternative for this?

Hi Mate, you can take your Licence ID card with you. Can place that on the screen to figure it out.

It's a good question! I did something similar to Rocky and used the straight edge of the scrap paper they give you and used the bezel of the screen as a level haha. Probably a little less likely tp see quite as challenging a graph as this one in the digital test format though unless there are more guidelines given on the graph

Hey Jesse! Amazing content again! With the last question I feel like it is quite easy to make a mistake with drawing the parallels back to the axis. Looking directly from the side on with the tracheal length as the x axis and the respiratory gain as the y axis, it seems where tracheal length is 0.5 cm, the respiratory gain could be 2.5 folds (instead of 2 folds). Any foolproof ways to know we are definitely drawing the parallels back to the axis right? Totally understand if not!

Yeah its probably a little unrealistic actually to be able to answer this particular question on the screen without being able to draw on it so I'd say it's best to take this stem as a 'how to work with a 3D coordinate system' but they'd probably give some additional guides in the stem that help with locating points (I would hope!). The other way of lining up points would be to draw or visualise more lines by extending the actual x and y axis to help with making sure that the parallel lines you are drawing/visualising are truly parallel to that given axis. For this particular question, you could use the options as a guide to your interpretation given that if we interpreted 2.0 as 2.5 or the 3.0 as 2.5, either way it would give a much smaller % increase than 50% and so no option would be possible, which would suggest that the points needed to be realigned again.

Hi Jesse, Thought you might want to know that this video isn't currently linked in the corresponding notion page.

Thanks for the heads up Siew! There are a few that I didn't update after the video posted but I've fixed this one and will have to do a clean up of some of the others. Cheers :)

Hi Jesse, with this rule: ‘In the cyclopentenone, where there are two alkyl chains attached to the same carbon that have the same preference for in or out positions, the alkyl chain with the lambda value closest to zero will be inverted to the position opposite to its preference.’ Why isn’t that relevant to question 1, as the two alkyl chains attached to the carbon both have the same preference? Thanks very much in advance

Hey Ross! It's very relevant to question 1. I think I may have done a reshoot of this particular question and perhaps didn't make any mention of that section of the stem, thinking I'd already said it but had actually edited it out 🤦‍♂️. So propyl and ethyl both have positive lambda values and so both have a preference for 'in'. Because propyl is greater (further from zero) it gets to direct into the page and the ethyl directs out of the page by default which will lead you to the same answer as I give in the video. I might have just glossed over those two branches and said it as if it were clear based on thinking I'd already explained it haha
