“Harry got my UCAT up to 2,590, working through the sections I kept dropping marks on week by week. Gemma then ran my interview practice so the MMI stations didn't catch me out, and Dr Akash mentored me the whole way through. I'm off to King's for Medicine.”

A mock interview day in four steps
You provide the rooms and the rota. The pack provides the questions, the prompts and the marking.
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, door cards single sided.
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.
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.
Debrief properly
Every station is marked on the same four domains, so the scoring summary shows each student where they are thin. Give them one strength and one thing to work on. That conversation is the part that changes results.
Medicine mock interviews
Ten circuits covering the question types every medicine applicant should be ready for: motivation, work experience and reflection, ethics, the NHS, a communication role play, data, and personal insight.

Dentistry mock interviews
Ten circuits written for dentistry rather than adapted from medicine: cosmetic treatment against clinical need, access to an NHS dentist, manual dexterity and precision, dental anxiety, prevention and the wider dental team.

Veterinary medicine mock interviews
Five circuits on the things a veterinary school actually probes: animal welfare against what an owner can afford, euthanasia, zoonoses and public health, and the difference between farm and companion animal work.

How to rotate mocks across a year
A single mock tells a student where they are. Three tell them whether they are improving, which is the thing that changes an offer. 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: the same four domains are marked every time, so the three sheets side by side show a student that their communication has come up and their reflection has not.
Two practical habits make the difference. Change the interviewers as well as the questions, because a student who has learned to read one teacher's face has not learned to interview. And give the last mock to your strongest volunteers, not your kindest: by December an applicant needs to be told the thing nobody has told them yet.
If you run these with a cohort, we would genuinely like to hear what worked and what did not.
What to read between the mock and the real thing
The packs deliberately do not repeat what these guides already cover. Point students at them after the debrief, once they know which domain let them down.

Read the guideRunning 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 the shape of a strong answer rather than its clinical content, 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, drop stations rather than shortening them.
Are these the real questions students will be asked?
No, and nothing could be. They are the standard, widely used question types every applicant should be ready for, freshly written for schools rather than taken from any question bank. They are designed to give realistic practice, not to predict a particular university.
Is any question repeated between packs?
No. All 175 questions across the 25 packs are different, and an automated check fails the build if a stem is ever repeated. That is deliberate: a school running a mock in the autumn and another in the spring should not meet a student who has already had the question.
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. Marking the same four everywhere is what makes the scoring summary useful, because it shows a student that, for example, their content is strong and their communication is not.
Are the dentistry and veterinary packs just the medicine ones reworded?
No. They share the format, the four domains and the marking, because that is what makes them easy to run, and 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?
Print them, photocopy them and run them every year, with our blessing. They are free, there is nothing to register for, and there is no sales material inside them to hand your students.
