Mock Medicine Interviews

A NextGen MedPrep mock interview is a full hour, one-to-one and live over video with a current UK medical or dental student — wherever we can, one who sat the interview you are about to sit. It runs in your university’s real format (MMI circuit, panel or traditional academic interview) and ends with written feedback against that school’s criteria. A single mock is £45; four mocks, each for a different university, are £160£40 each. Book one and most students are matched with a tutor within 24–48 hours.

Go Ultimate

Preparing for one school in depth rather than practising the format? A Background Knowledge Session (£60) is a briefing on one university from a tutor who sat its interview, and the full package list — including bundles that combine mocks and briefings — is on the interviews hub.

How a mock interview works, step by step

  1. 1

    Tell us your invite

    Choose your package and name the school and format you have been invited to — MMI circuit, panel, or a traditional academic interview. A bundle lets you name a different university for each mock.

  2. 2

    Check out

    Pay through Stripe. Your booking confirmation email arrives once the payment clears; if it has not landed within 24 hours, check your spam folder and then contact us.

  3. 3

    Get matched

    Most students are matched within 24–48 hours. In peak season (December to February) applicants interviewing within a fortnight are prioritised, so put your interview date in the booking notes.

  4. 4

    Sit the full mock

    One hour, live, one-to-one, under real conditions: timed stations if it is an MMI, follow-up probing if it is a panel, and no easy rides. Questions are prepared for the school you named.

  5. 5

    Get your written feedback

    Structured written feedback against the school’s known criteria, with what to fix before the real thing. Your mock credits also unlock self-practice you can run on your own between sessions.

What the mock looks like in your format

The hour is run the way your school runs its interview, because the thing that catches people out is rarely the content — it is the shape of the room.

MMI circuit — 41 of 51 UK medical schools in our dataset

Timed stations with a hard stop, a fresh examiner each time and no chance to recover a bad one. The mock runs a circuit rather than a conversation: you get the reading time, the bell, and a station you have not seen. The skill being tested is starting well under time pressure, over and over.

Free guide to this format →

Panel — 7 UK medical schools

One room, two to four interviewers, twenty to forty minutes. Follow-up questions go where your answer was weakest, which is the part a solo rehearsal cannot simulate. Your tutor probes the same way: not to catch you out, but because that is what the real panel does.

Free guide to this format →

Traditional / Oxbridge-style — 4 UK medical schools

An academic interview that pushes you past what you know and watches how you think out loud. The mock is run by someone who sat one, so the pressure is calibrated rather than theatrical.

Free guide to this format →

Dentistry — all 16 UK dental schools

Dental interviews ask a different set of questions from medicine and reward different answers. Where possible your mock is run by a current dental student who sat that school’s interview.

What your written feedback covers

The mock is the cheap part. The feedback is what you are actually buying, and it is written down so you can work from it after the adrenaline has worn off.

  • Against the school’s criteria

    Not a general impression — your answers set against what that school is known to score, station by station or question by question.

  • What was missing, specifically

    Most weak answers are not wrong, they are incomplete. The feedback names the thing you did not say and where it should have gone.

  • Structure and timing

    Whether you answered the question asked, in an order an interviewer can follow, in the time available.

  • Ethics and reasoning

    Whether you applied a framework or reached for a conclusion — the single most common gap in UK medical interviews.

  • Communication under pressure

    Pace, filler, eye contact and what happened to all of it when the follow-up question was harder than you expected.

  • What to fix before the real thing

    A short, ordered list. If there are nine things wrong you cannot fix nine things in a week, so the feedback says which three matter most.

When should you book a mock interview?

UK interview invitations go out from November and interviews run through to March, with Oxford and Cambridge concentrated in December. Two things follow from that.

Leave time to act on the feedback

A mock the day before your interview tells you what is wrong at the point you can no longer fix it. Aim for at least a week between the mock and the real thing, and a few days between mocks if you are doing more than one.

December to February is the crush

That is when every applicant in the country wants the same fortnight. Most students are matched within 24–48 hours, and applicants interviewing within two weeks are prioritised — but the earlier your invitation date reaches us, the more choice of tutor and slot you get.

Not been invited yet? Read your school’s interview guide and work through the free resources first — a mock is worth most once you have something to test.

What students say about our mock interviews

We do not publish a star rating or a review count on this page. A review appears here only once the person who wrote it has agreed to publication and our team has checked it — and we will not restate a Trustpilot score we are not licensed to reproduce.

Mock interview FAQs

The questions people ask before they book. Our full terms, cancellation and refund policy is published in full.

£45 for a single full-hour mock with a tutor, or £160 for four mocks — £40 each — with each mock tailored to a different university. The price is the whole price: written feedback, the tutor's time and the question preparation are all included, and mock credits for self-practice come with every package.
