Why should you book a mock MMI interview circuit?

 

Once you have good, robust knowledge and communication skills for your medical school interview, you can practice a whole day of MMI stations under exam conditions with doctors, medical school tutors and experienced examiners 🩺

Medical school admissions tutors must be confident that you are at the appropriate standard to commence a five-year medicine degree programme ⚖️

Our MMI circuits are as close to the real thing as possible. The only difference is that you get comprehensive individual feedback on your performance after each station ✅

Our stations are calibrated and will give you an accurate reflection of your performance. You will experience a good mix of curriculum topics 📚

You will be able to identify any issues or knowledge gaps (nightmare areas) early and focus your revision ⚡️

With feedback, the examiners will point out issues and help you consider different approaches 🔀

Are you uncomfortable with a stranger examining you and others ‘watching’ you? Here is a chance for you to experience and overcome this 👁️

You will experience answering under time pressure, just like in the interview you will have at medical school ⏰

We develop and refine our circuits with feedback from students, examiners and parents (many of whom are practising doctors in the NHS).

What will I experience during the 40-circuit mock MMI interview day?

  • Our circuit days have 40 mock MMI stations throughout the day. We team you up with a fellow student, and you sit 20 and observe 20 🏃 We also rotate students after each circuit.

  • We hold the in-person circuits in Manchester, and there is a strict limit of 10 students per circuit 🛡

  • You will practice 20 stations in the morning and 20 in the afternoon. We also hold virtual circuit days, which you can attend from home 📽

How do you design the stations on the MMI circuits?

  • Our circuits are designed by Abdul Mannan and a team of medical school tutors 💎

  • All the stations are up to date for 2025 entry candidates and cover a broad range of topics as directed by the Medical School Council 🎓

  • We don’t simply use past questions. Our stations are updated with the latest NHS topics and medical school assessment trends using our own experience of medical education 📚

All stations are calibrated 📐 Our circuits are designed based on the UK Medical School Council guidelines.

  • We are educated and experienced in Medical Education at Masters level with over 20 years of educational supervision experience 🏆 This ensures your training is tried, tested and effective.

The MMI mock circuits are under exam conditions, right down to the timing and break periods ⏱

  • It isn't easy to set up an MMI circuit at home or in your school. Our MMI circuits are calibrated at the correct level and then tested on top A-level students before you experience them ⚖️ This means the results will accurately reflect your performance.

How can I prepare for the 40-circuit mock MMI interview day?

  • MMI circuits are a form of assessment.

  • We recommend all students first attend our Medical School Interview course, so they will have the knowledge and skills to approach medical school interviews 📚

  • We would not recommend attending an interview without preparation ⚠️ You would not sit your A-level exam without adequate preparation, and this is no different 😳

Every student gets personal feedback on performance 👁️ The group also gets feedback as a cohort.

  • Not every student has relatives or friends in the medical profession, and not all doctors are trained in medical education. We can help fill this gap for all our students 📚

  • Your feedback is accurate, unbiased, and non-judgemental 👁 Are examiners not there to be nice to you and will react just like a medical school examiner if you get stuck. Your feedback will tell you how to put things right.

  • Our circuits include role play and practical stations (for in-person circuit days) 🔬 We provide all the necessary equipment and bring all the simulated patients and actors to the exam room.

  • We ask students during the booking process what medical schools the candidate is applying for 🔎 This lets us tailor the circuits for the cohort.
