Designed around real UK interviews

NHS hot topics
Speak confidently about how the NHS works and the issues shaping it today.
Teamwork and leadership
Approach group and collaborative stations the way assessors actually score them.

Detailed written feedback
Your real interview is too important for guesswork
Many students leave a practice interview knowing they need to improve, but not knowing how. After every station you get personalised written feedback, so you walk away with a clear action plan and know exactly where to focus.
- Understand exactly where marks were gained and lost
- Identify recurring weaknesses across multiple stations
- Improve your communication, structure and delivery
- Focus your revision on the areas that matter most
- Track your progress as your interview approaches
Every station is graded against three levels, excellent, satisfactory, or needs further improvement, with specific actions to take before your real interview.

What students say
Applicants who sat where you're sitting
Despite a UCAT score of 2100, I received interviews and offers from Liverpool, Manchester and Keele. Blue Peanut’s mock MMIs were the most authentic I attended—detailed feedback and realistic practice gave me confidence and helped me refine my approach.
2026 Entry StudentI achieved a 2480 UCAT and received interviews from Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Bristol, securing offers for Dentistry from all four. The mock MMI circuit was especially useful—great preparation and very helpful overall.
2026 Entry StudentSmaller groups and personalised support, and far better value than the pricier commercial courses. Their follow-up was instrumental in both my daughter and niece getting their offers.
