Watch YouTube videos to try get an idea of MMI structure and also to practice common questions. Another tip would be if u feel like u messed up on one station use the small break in between stations to mentally reset as its a different interviewer so it’s basically a refresh as the new interviewer won’t know what occurred on previous stations.

do you mean you haven’t got a confirmation after booking in your interview date on the portal or just in general you haven’t received anything confirming the interview or booking it?

If you go into your portal and click messages it should show all the emails.If nit wait a day or two and email Admissions.I think there's a slight delay with receiving the task as I inky got mines 2 days before the interview.

Hi there! Best of luck! I don't study the same course so wouldn't have any specific tips so glad others have helped out! Hope you have the outcome you're hoping for and if you have any questions about the university or city feel free to reach out! 😄

Hi, i hope this isnt too late! but i used the dental MMI book which has loads of different questions and explained answers in. i found it really helped, do you have any tips for panel interviews?

hii, yes the dental mmi book was really useful, i would say to try and engage in it as much as possible with eye contact and nodding and a memorable question at the end, because you dont really get 'breaks' like an MMI, pause and dont answer the questions straight away and to gauge what they are really asking you, good luck!! also have a glass of water near you because it is thirsty work haha
