How it works

A mock interview day in four steps

You provide the rooms and the rota. The pack provides the questions, the prompts and the marking.

Themes shown are from the medicine packs. The dentistry and veterinary packs run the same circuit, with stations 1 and 4 written for their own subject. Timings are the same in every pack in the library. Chart by TheUKCATPeople.
Room plan for a school mock interview day, by TheUKCATPeople: a 7 station MMI circuit laid out as a loop (1 motivation for medicine, 2 work experience and reflection, 3 ethical reasoning, 4 the nhs and its pressures, 5 communication role play, 6 data and problem solving, 7 personal insight), with one interviewer in each station and one student at each. Every 9 minutes each student moves on one station: 7 minutes in the station and 2 minutes to move on, so 7 students complete a full circuit in 63 minutes. Station 5, the role play, has one extra person to play the part. The four steps: print one pack, find your interviewers, run the circuit, debrief each student.

Step 1

Print one pack

Pick a pack below and print it once. It covers the whole afternoon: 7 interviewer sheets, a scoring summary, a briefing and 7 door cards. One interviewer sheet per room works well, with door cards printed single sided.

Step 2

Find your interviewers

They do not need to be clinicians. Each sheet carries the question, two follow up prompts and a listening aid describing what a strong answer covers, so a teacher, a governor or a former student can all run a station. The role play station needs one extra person.

Step 3

Run the circuit

7 minutes in the station, 2 minutes to move on. A full circuit takes 63 minutes, and you can start students at different points to move a bigger cohort through in an afternoon.

Step 4

Debrief each student

Every station is marked on the same four domains, so the scoring summary shows each student their strongest and weakest areas. Many schools give one strength and one thing to work on. Students often get more from those five minutes than from the circuit itself.

Veterinary medicine mock interviews

Five circuits on the themes veterinary schools tend to explore: animal welfare against what an owner can afford, euthanasia, zoonoses and public health, and the difference between farm and companion animal work.

Every veterinary medicine pack is 17 pages of A4 and marks the same four domains, so a student can be compared fairly across two mocks run a term apart.

Using the library

How to rotate mocks across a year

A single mock tells a student where they are. Three can show whether they are improving. Because no question appears twice in the library, you can run one circuit in the summer term of Year 12, a second in late September once personal statements are away, and a third in the fortnight before the first interviews, without a student ever meeting a question they have already answered. Keep the scoring summaries. Laid side by side, three sheets will show a student, say, that their communication has come up and their reflection has not.

Some schools change the interviewers as well as the questions, so students practise in front of faces they do not know. Others save their most experienced volunteers for the last mock, when a student is ready for blunter feedback.

If you run these with a cohort, we would like to hear what worked and what did not.

Questions from careers leads

Running a mock interview day

Do I need to be a doctor to run a mock interview day?

No. Each interviewer sheet carries the question, two follow up prompts and a listening aid that describes what a strong answer covers without needing clinical knowledge, so a teacher, a careers lead, a governor or a former student at medical school can all run a station and mark it consistently. The same is true of the dentistry and veterinary packs.

How many interviewers and students do I need?

Each pack is a 7 station circuit, so 7 interviewers and 7 spaces run it as designed, with one extra person to play the part at the role play station. A full circuit takes 63 minutes, and you can start students at different points in the circuit to move a larger cohort through in an afternoon. If you have fewer rooms, one approach is to drop stations rather than shorten them.

Are these the real questions students will be asked?

No. Nobody outside a university can know its exact questions. These are the standard, widely used question types every applicant should be ready for, written from scratch for schools. They give realistic practice. They do not predict what any one university will ask.

Is any question repeated between packs?

No. All 175 questions across the 25 packs are different, so a student who sits a mock in the autumn will not meet the same question again in the spring.

How are students marked?

Every station is marked on the same four domains, each from 1 to 4: motivation and insight, communication, reflection and self awareness, and professional values and ethics. Because the domains never change, the scoring summary can show a student, for example, that their content is strong but their communication needs work.

Are the dentistry and veterinary packs just the medicine ones reworded?

No. They share the format, the four domains and the marking, so they run the same way, but every question is written for the subject. The dentistry circuits cover cosmetic treatment against clinical need, access to an NHS dentist, dental anxiety and manual dexterity; the veterinary circuits cover welfare against what an owner can afford, euthanasia, zoonoses and farm against companion animal work.

Can we edit or reuse them?

Yes. Print them, photocopy them and run them every year. They are free, there is nothing to register for, and there is no sales material inside to hand your students.
