Terms & Conditions

Who I am

Meridian is an independent study resource, run under the registered business name Meridian Preparation, based in Australia. I am not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by ACER or the GAMSAT. GAMSAT® is a registered trademark of ACER, and I use the word only to describe what my materials help you prepare for.

What Meridian offers

Meridian has free, full-length, timed practice mocks for GAMSAT Sections I, II and III. When it is available, I also sell a paid Section 2 Practice Bank (see below). I don't currently offer essay marking or feedback on your writing. My practice questions are original materials I have written to resemble the style and difficulty of the exam. They are not real or past GAMSAT questions.

Signing in and your account

To sit a mock you sign in with your email (a six-digit code) or with Google or Facebook. Please keep your sign-in secure, stick to one account per person, and do not let others use your account. The Section 1 and Section 3 mocks are designed to be sat once per person, the Section 2 mock can be re-sat with fresh writing tasks, and you are responsible for activity under your account.

The free mocks

The free mocks are provided “as is”, in early access. They may contain errors, and I improve them over time using how people answer (see the Privacy Policy). Your score and percentile are indicative feedback to help you practise. They are not an official result, and they are not a prediction or guarantee of any particular GAMSAT score or outcome.

The Section 2 Practice Bank (paid)

When it is on sale, the Section 2 Practice Bank is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The price is shown in Australian dollars on the product page and at checkout. Payments are handled by Stripe, and your card number never reaches me.

The bank gives you:

• Section 2 prompt sets for Task A and Task B. The product page says how many.
• An exam mode and a practice mode.
• The “Your Section 2” page, where you can see every essay you have written, your word count and time on each task, and reset a prompt so you can sit it again.

It does not include any marking or feedback on your essays.

You get access for at least 12 months from the day you buy it. Your purchase is linked to the email address you pay with, so sign in with that same email to use it.

If you get a refund, your access ends. If you dispute the payment with your bank and it turns into a chargeback, your access is paused until it's settled, and it ends if the payment is reversed.

Your access is a personal licence for you alone. Please don't share your account or your access with anyone else, and don't share, post or sell the prompts or anything else from the bank. Making your own notes for your own study is fine (see “How you may use my materials” below).

I may add new prompt sets, fix mistakes and improve the bank over time. I won't make changes that take away what you paid for during your access period.

If you change your mind, you can get a full refund as long as you haven't started a sitting from the bank yet. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply no matter what. The details are in my Refund Policy.

How your responses are used

When you sit a free mock, your responses are recorded and analysed to check and improve the questions, and Section 2 essays may be used, without your name or email, to build essay feedback tools, as explained in my Privacy Policy. You agree to this on the consent screen before your first free mock. The paid Section 2 Practice Bank doesn't ask for this, and the Privacy Policy explains how bank sittings are used.

Emails I send you

Your score and worked solutions stay on the site, where you can revisit them any time. After a Section 2 sitting I email you a copy of your essays, and if you buy something I email you a confirmation. Later I may email you the upgraded question sets your sitting helped build, free, and, after GAMSAT results are released, one short email asking how you went. If you opt in, I will also send occasional updates. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.

How you may use my materials

The website, its text, design, logo, and all the questions, solutions and other materials are original works that belong to me or are used with permission, and they are protected by copyright under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). Using Meridian gives you a personal licence to use the materials for your own GAMSAT preparation only. It does not give you any ownership of them, and you cannot pass your access on to anyone else.

You may not copy, photograph, record, screenshot, transcribe, republish, post, resell or otherwise share or distribute the questions, writing prompts, solutions, debriefs or any other content, in whole or in part, whether publicly or privately, without my written consent. The one exception is your own study notes: you can make notes for your own study, including jotting down a prompt, as long as you don't share them.

I take leaks of my question material seriously. Access to the mocks is tied to your account, and files I deliver may carry identifying marks. If you share, post, sell or distribute my material, or pass your access on to someone else, I may suspend or close your account and withdraw your access, I may require leaked copies to be taken down wherever they appear, and I reserve the right to take legal action, including claims for copyright infringement and for breach of these terms. This doesn't affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Acceptable use

Please use the site lawfully. Do not try to disrupt it or bypass its security, do not attempt to extract or copy the answer keys or the question bank, do not scrape the site, and do not create multiple accounts to sit a mock more than once or to distort the data.

Links to other websites

My site may link to other websites, such as Google for sign-in. I am not responsible for the content or practices of websites I do not control, and using them is at your own risk.

Disclaimers

My mocks are independent study materials provided for educational purposes. Practising with them does not guarantee any particular result in the GAMSAT. I am not affiliated with or endorsed by ACER.

My responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, including the consumer guarantees that come with anything you buy from me.

Apart from those rights, and as far as the law allows, I am not liable for how you go in the real GAMSAT, or for decisions you make based on a practice score.

Privacy

How I handle your information is covered by my Privacy Policy.

Changes and governing law

I may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date shows when. If you have already bought something, a later change won't reduce what you paid for or your rights for that purchase. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and this service is intended for users in Australia.
