University of Buckingham Stage 2 Interview- Medicine

Guys please help me! I had no idea that there was a difference between MMI and the MMA. Can someone please give me a general idea about the MMA, the stations that appear for the University of Buckingham in the MMA, and how to prepare for it. Any information is appreciated!!

Hey, I didn't do the MMI of Buckingham but I did do the MMA though. I had the MMA on Feb of this year. MMA is basically a less harder version of the UCAT (and i mean that very loosely, there isn't abstract reasoning or verbal), in the sense that it has a numerical section and a situational judgment esk section. The numerical section mainly consisted of basic arithmetics and graph interpretation. The question weren't very difficult but some where a bit twisted. Most questions were multiple choice but there was one essay type question for me. I didn't prepare for the MMA cause there is literally no information about it out there so I don't think you gotta specifically prepare for it or anything...maybe brush up on basic operations and percentages?...Overall it was fairly easy. Hope this helps :smile:
