Practice stations
Real MMI stations, run to time.
Stations from the circuits I use in mock interviews. Read the prompt, start the clock, and answer out loud. Nothing is recorded and nothing is scored.
How a station runs
- Two minutes to read. You get the prompt on the door. Use the time to work out which of the six things you are being marked on, not to write a script.
- Eight minutes to answer. The interviewer has follow-up questions and will use them. Answering the first one in eight minutes is the commonest way to lose marks.
- Out loud, to an empty chair. Rehearsing in your head is not practice. It is the talking that is hard.

If you want the rest, and feedback on it
A full mock is 90 minutes under interview conditions with a written debrief. An intro session is 30 minutes for $40, and it comes off anything you go on to book.
