Why do you want to study medicine specifically, rather than nursing, physiotherapy, or another healthcare career?

Start the station

They may follow up with

  • What does the diagnostic role of a doctor offer that nursing doesn't?
  • Have you considered the postgraduate path through nursing into advanced practice?
  • What would you say to a friend choosing between medicine and physician associate training?

Practise with AI

An interviewer that listens, follows up and scores you

When you want the real thing, the AI mock interview puts a photoreal interviewer in front of you. It asks the questions out loud, presses on what you actually say, and marks every answer against the same mark scheme as the bank.

Example

“Why medicine, and why now?”

It follows up

“You mentioned shadowing. What did it show you about the reality of the job?”

You answer

I first saw what the job really involves when I was shadowing. It was the conversations, not the procedures, that stayed with me.

Where the questions come from

Real questions, predicted for your university

The bank is written by people who have been through these interviews. Our algorithm then works out which questions your school is most likely to ask, so every mock is specific to it.

  1. 01

    Written by people who sat them

    Every question is hand-written by current medical and dental students, then given follow-ups, a mark scheme and tips.

  2. 02

    Mapped to each school’s format

    Each cycle we research every school’s interview: MMI or panel, how many stations, how long each runs and what it tests.

  3. 03

    Predicted for your school

    Our algorithm picks the questions your school is most likely to ask: the right topic and format, the questions schools ask most, and only questions for your country.
