Mock interviews and MMI circuits

The interview is the last thing between you and the offer. Mock Oxbridge interviews and full MMI circuits, run the way the real ones run, with feedback while you can still remember what you said.

The formats

Two formats, because two things are being tested

An Oxbridge subject interview is forty minutes of being pushed on your own subject, followed by twenty minutes of feedback. It is run by Oxbridge students and graduates who sat the same interview for the same subject, and you get written notes afterwards so a second mock has something to aim at.

An MMI is a different animal: more than eight short stations, timed and rotated the way medical and dental schools run them. One complete circuit per booking, with feedback station by station, because an overall impression tells you nothing about which station lost you the place.

Why ILE

Being interviewed badly once teaches you very little

The feedback is the half that changes anything. A mock without it is an unpleasant hour that leaves you no better prepared than you started.

Feedback while it is fresh

Twenty minutes immediately afterwards, while you can still remember what you said and why. Feedback a week later is a report on somebody you no longer are.

Run by people who sat it

Oxbridge students and graduates who did the same interview for the same subject, which is the difference between plausible questions and the actual ones.

Station by station for MMIs

A circuit score tells you nothing actionable. Knowing which station went wrong, and why, is the entire value.

Worth doing more than once

The written notes exist so a second mock has a target. Most of the improvement happens between the first and the second.

How it works

Four stages, from the first booking

The same process every ILE student goes through, set out in full on our method page.

01

Tell us the subject and college

So the interviewer is someone who sat the same interview for the same subject, or ran the same style of circuit.

02

The mock itself

Forty minutes interviewed for an Oxbridge subject mock, or one full circuit of more than eight stations for an MMI.

03

Feedback while it is fresh

Twenty minutes immediately afterwards for a subject interview, or station by station for a circuit, plus written notes.

04

A second one, usually

Most of the improvement happens between a first mock and a second, which is what the written notes are for.

Who it is for

Most students arrive at one of these points

Holding an Oxbridge interview invitation. Where the interview is the remaining hurdle.

Applying to Medicine or Dentistry. Where MMIs decide most offers.

Never been interviewed academically. Which is almost everybody at eighteen.

Articulate in conversation, lost under questioning. A different skill, and a trainable one.

Reapplying. Where last year’s interview is the thing to diagnose.

Wanting more than one attempt. The gap between a first and second mock is where most change happens.

Questions

Before you book

How much does a mock interview cost?

An Oxbridge mock interview is 35 pounds for the hour: forty minutes interviewed and twenty minutes of feedback. A full MMI circuit is 20 pounds.

What is an MMI?

A multiple mini interview: a circuit of short, timed stations covering things like ethics, role play, data interpretation and motivation, rotated in order. Most medical and dental schools use them.

How many stations are in a circuit?

More than eight, run as one complete circuit per booking.

Will the interviewer know my subject?

Yes. Oxbridge mocks are run by students and graduates who sat the same interview for the same subject.

Should I book more than one?

Most of the improvement happens between a first and a second, which is why written notes come with the first one. One is useful; two is usually better.

Is it online?

Yes, on Google Meet, anywhere in the UK.
