MMI prep advice needed !!! ASAP

Hi everyone,
I’ve got 3 med interviews ranging from 8-18 of January and I have started to prep a little bit (got to know the MMI structure, looked at a few NHS hot topics and common questions etc)
However, I have not yet started full on prep like for a couple hours a day a week yet I was going to start next week ish..
Have I left it too late ?
Also if anyone has any tips on how practicing would be super grateful as I’m a little stuck :smile:

Try and practice as much as you can especially talking and do it with your friends who can help give feedback. Also try and know NHS hot topics well enough to talk abt them in detail if needed and also be ready for anything. I've done 1 interview so far and 2 more within the next 2 weeks so the best advice is to keep practicing, prepare the common questions like why med, why (uni) and like why you want to be a doctor and you should be fine. Make sure you talk with confidence and don't stress to much.

Come up with a list of relevant questions. Type them neatly and in full up on 1 sheet of A4 in list format.

Print out several copies. Get three friends to choose a few at random (obviously they will need to confer amongst themselves so they don't duplicate questions) and have one person ask you one question, then change to the next person after you have answered.

If you want added variety and a bit more pressure sit all three people at separate desks and physically go from one to the next as you go.

If you have enough people willing to participate you could have double (or even triple) the number of people but sat in pairs or threes- one of the 'team' asks the question and the other two make notes and 'mark' your answer. Then you move to the next group.

If organised carefully you could run multiple applicants through the same system in one session.

There is still plenty of time to practice. There are very good test questions on the medicine interview thread along with detailed posts discussing how to answer effectively.
