Multiple Mini Interview Format
The MMI will consist of seven 10 minute stations.
Five of these stations will have an interviewer:
- Work Experience
- Career Exploration and Awareness of being a Professional
- Awareness of Animal Welfare
- Data Interpretation
- Moral/Ethical Dilemma
Each candidate will be individually interviewed at these stations.
The remaining two stations are unstaffed:
- Practical Task
- Numeracy Task
Assessment, Decisions & Feedback
Assessment
Each interviewer assesses candidates independently. The evaluations from all stations are considered and offers made on the overall assessment of each candidate in comparison with the performance of other candidates.
Decisions
We aim to make decisions on offers by 31 March 2023.
Feedback
The School is willing to offer feedback to candidates on the outcome of their Assessment Day. Please note however, that whilst candidates will be aware of their own performance, they will have no insight into the performance of the others against whom they are competing.
