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.
