10 Top Tips for Multiple Mini Interviews (MMIs)
MMIs can look scary, but with the right approach they’re very fair.

1. Remember how they work
Each station is short, with a new question or scenario. Every station is a fresh start.
2. Use your reading time
Take those 1–2 minutes to read the prompt carefully and plan. Don’t rush.
3. Reset each time
If one station goes badly, forget it. Move on and focus on the next.
4. Show empathy and professionalism
Even if you don’t know the “perfect” answer, kindness, respect, and maturity always score points.
5. Think out loud
Interviewers want to see your reasoning. Say what you’re thinking as you work it out.
6. Try out different station types
Role play, ethical dilemmas, prioritisation, data interpretation — practising these in advance will make you feel calmer.
7. Watch the clock
Keep your answers focused. Too long or too short and you’ll miss the mark.
8. Stay calm under pressure
Stations are designed to test you. Take a breath, keep your cool, and speak clearly.
9. Don’t compare yourself
Other candidates may look more confident. Forget them. Concentrate on your own performance.
10. Practise with a timer
Mock MMIs at home will get you used to the pace and help you stay sharp on the day.
🎓 Final thought: MMIs are tough but fair. Each station is a chance to show a different side of you — use it.
