Student comments, where available

We highlight authentic student comments to give you practical insight into what a recent interview felt like, including pacing, question depth and station emphasis. Look for the "Student comments" call-out box within each school guide. Where verified comments aren't available, we say so clearly and focus on evidence-based preparation tips, along with high-quality sample stations to keep your practice realistic.

From reading to ready

The guides tell you what to expect. Practice is what gets you the offer.

Knowing a school's format is the starting point, not the finish line. The students who perform on the day are the ones who have practised out loud, under pressure, with honest feedback, long before the real interview.

Read the guide

Understand the format, timing and topics for each of your chosen schools.

Practise properly

Rehearse real MMI and panel stations in small groups with NHS doctors, not just notes on a page.

Walk in ready

Turn preparation into performance, so nothing on the day catches you off guard.
