Our exclusive interview prep PDFs are being written right now — by the same current medical students who coach our 1-on-1 sessions. Here's a sneak peek at what's landing.

Most Australian medical schools now interview with the multiple mini interview format. Here's what you're walking into, and how to prepare for it — from the coaches at m.i ready.
A multiple mini interview is a circuit of short, independent stations — usually 6 to 10 of them, each around 5 to 8 minutes. You read a prompt outside the room, walk in, and respond to a fresh interviewer who has not seen you before.
Because every station is scored separately, one rough answer can't sink your day. Every door is a clean slate.
Schools moved to MMIs because a single long interview rewards charm and rehearsed stories. A circuit of independent examiners is harder to game and gives a more reliable read of the qualities that actually matter in medicine: reasoning, empathy, communication and composure under pressure.
They are not testing medical knowledge. They are testing how you think.
Each interviewer scores you against a rubric for that station alone — typically your reasoning, your communication, and how well you addressed every part of the prompt.
There is rarely one right answer. Two students can reach opposite conclusions and both score highly, because the marks live in the thinking you show out loud, not the verdict.
Reflect, don't respond. The strongest candidates spend most of a station unpacking the prompt — naming the tensions, the people affected, the values at stake — and only commit to an action at the end, conditionally.
Rushing to "here's what I'd do" is the single most common mistake we coach out of students.
