The same voice. The same difficult moment. Hear how specific feedback can shape a more thoughtful answer.

The momentYour friend has failed a subject. They call in tears before your exam and say they feel like giving up on everything. What do you say?

01 / Before feedback

Rushed reassurance.

Quick reassurance. Advice before understanding.

Read the full transcript

Um, look, failing one subject isn't the end of the world. Lots of people fail and still graduate, so... try not to worry about it too much.

You can probably resit, or appeal, or... um, email the coordinator. I think you just need to focus on the next steps rather than... like, dwelling on it.

I'll help you with the email tomorrow. But, um, I've got my own exam in the morning, so I do need to get some sleep. Yeah... hopefully it'll all work out.

02 / A stronger next take

Thoughtful support.

Acknowledge. Check safety. Make a clear plan.

Read the full transcript

That sounds crushing. You've worked all year, and finding out tonight must feel overwhelming. I'm here. Tell me what happened.

When you say giving up on everything... do you mean uni, or are you thinking about hurting yourself? If you're not safe, we'll get urgent help now.

Let's get someone you trust with you tonight. I can stay on the phone while we do that. Once you're safe and settled, I need to sleep for my exam. I'll call you straight afterwards, and we can look at your options together.

Transcript helps you improve what you say. Premium also explores how you say it and adds Lift my answer, a stronger written version to learn from.

AI-voiced demonstration adapted from the sample review below. These are staged examples, not student recordings or measured results. The stronger take illustrates applying the feedback; Lift provides a written rewrite.

The example: a friend calls before your examRead the station & answer

The station

A close friend calls you in tears the night before your most important exam. They have just found out they failed a subject they need to graduate, and they say they feel like giving up on everything. What do you say, and what do you do?

The original answer · excerpt

First I would tell them failing one subject isn't the end of the world and that lots of people fail and still graduate. I would explain they can probably resit or appeal, and help them email the coordinator to sort out options. I would tell them to focus on next steps rather than dwell on it. I would also make sure I still got enough sleep for my own exam.

Empathy

You reassured ("not the end of the world") but never named what they are feeling. Reassurance that skips the emotion reads as dismissal, even when you mean well.

You reassured ("not the end of the world") but never named what they are feeling. Reassurance that skips the emotion reads as dismissal, even when you mean well. Your tone stayed level here too - warmth that is felt but not heard still reads as distance on the other end of the line.

Communication

Clear and easy to follow. It speaks at your friend more than with them - fewer instructions, more presence.

Clear and easy to follow. It speaks at your friend more than with them - fewer instructions, more presence. Your pace also jumped to 175 wpm through the advice run, which sharpens the "being told what to do" feel.

Reasoning

Sensible options (resit, appeal) - but offered before you understood the situation. Good judgement at the wrong moment still costs marks.

Sensible options (resit, appeal) - but offered before you understood the situation. Good judgement at the wrong moment still costs marks. The appeal route only applies if something went wrong in the marking - naming when you would use each option shows judgement, not just knowledge.

Reflection

No sign you checked whether your help was wanted, or weighed your own exam against being there. The closing line lands as self-focused.

No sign you checked whether your help was wanted, or weighed your own exam against being there. The closing line lands as self-focused - said more slowly, with the trade-off owned out loud, the same content would read as honest self-awareness.

Real-world awareness

You know the mechanics. A top answer also notices risk: "give up on everything" is a flag worth gently checking before moving on.

You know the mechanics. A top answer also notices risk: "give up on everything" is a flag worth gently checking before moving on. You do not need clinical language - "is it just the subject, or is everything feeling heavy?" is enough, and it is safe to ask.

Problem solving

Resit, appeal, email the coordinator - workable routes, sensibly ordered. A stronger answer also plans for tonight itself: who stays with them, and when you check in tomorrow.

Resit, appeal, email the coordinator - workable routes, sensibly ordered. A stronger answer also plans for tonight itself: who stays with them, and when you check in tomorrow. And the plan should survive reality - if they say "do not tell anyone", what is your next move?

Strength, main gap and authenticity check

Biggest strength

Your instinct to be useful is real, and examiners want future doctors who act. The fix is not to care less - it is to time it.

Main gap

You moved to fixing before the person felt heard. Acknowledge their feelings before discussing practical options.

Polished Auditor check: not detected

The sample does not use a rehearsed structure to hide thin reasoning. Its main gaps are timing and empathy.

Lift my answer · existing sample

That sounds crushing - you have worked all year, and to find out tonight of all nights. I'm not going anywhere, tell me what happened. ... Feeling like giving up makes sense after news like this, and I want to check - is it just the subject, or is everything feeling too heavy right now? ... When you're ready, we can look at options together: most unis allow a resit or an appeal, and we could draft the email to your coordinator tomorrow. I do have my exam in the morning, so here is what I can do: I'll stay on the phone as long as you need tonight, and I'll call you straight after my exam. You will not deal with this alone.

An illustrative rewrite to study, not a script to memorise or a promised score. Ellipses are part of the existing sample.

"That sounds crushing - especially tonight, when you were finally going to breathe. Before we work anything out, I just want to be here with you for a minute."

It names the feeling, signals you are staying, and earns you the right to problem-solve next - so your resit/appeal advice lands instead of bouncing off.

Station bank

What is in the MMI station bank

Stations are written to match the format and difficulty of real Australian medical school MMI circuits, including ethics dilemmas that require structured moral reasoning and role-play scenarios that test communication under pressure.

Ethics and professional duties Role-play (patient/peer/community) Interpersonal conflict Personal statement Teamwork and leadership Healthcare policy and equity

Plus the stations you write yourself. Heard a question in an interview group chat, or worried about one specific scenario? Write it as a station, or describe it roughly and have it built into a full station with five escalating questions, then practise it with the same timing, recording and marking as the bank. Stations you write stay private to your account. Included with any Key2MD subscription.

Timing and format

Five MMI timing modes

Real Australian MMI circuits give you roughly 2 minutes to read a station and about 8 minutes at the door. The practice tool lets you rehearse that exact rhythm, or drill faster and harder to build instinct. Prompts are revealed progressively, just like a live circuit.

How your answer is read

The six Key2MD practice criteria, scored 1-5

These are Key2MD's coaching lens, drawn from how Dan marks students one to one. They are not a university's official rubric and no panel publishes one. Each criterion is scored from 1 (not demonstrated) to 5 (strongly demonstrated) with written feedback on why the score was given and how to improve it.

Underneath all six sits one habit: say what you would do, and why it matters to the person in front of you. An answer that names a decision without the why reads as a rehearsed position rather than your own thinking, and that is the single most common reason a competent answer scores lower than it should.

CriterionWhat the AI assesses
EmpathyDoes the response demonstrate understanding of the perspectives and feelings of everyone involved?
CommunicationIs the response structured, clear, and appropriate in tone for the context?
ReasoningIs the ethical or practical reasoning sound, developed, and applied to the specific scenario?
ReflectionDoes the response show self-awareness, acknowledge uncertainty, and avoid overconfidence?
Real-world AwarenessDoes the response show understanding of how healthcare systems, resources, and constraints work in practice?
Problem SolvingFaced with an unfamiliar problem, does the response frame what is actually going on, compare options against real constraints, and commit to a workable plan?

Alongside the six criteria, every response gets a single overall Key2MD mark out of 5 with a band - Poor, Unsatisfactory, Satisfactory, Good or Excellent - formed the way Dan forms it when he marks a student: a holistic judgement that weighs genuineness and empathy most heavily, balanced against the strength of your reasoning. It is not just an average of the six criteria.

How you say it is part of the score

How an answer lands depends on both substance and delivery. Tone, rhythm, pace, presence and composure can change whether the same words feel warm and convincing or flat and rehearsed. Premium reviews use these signals as coaching observations, not official scoring criteria.

For a full explanation of how each criterion is scored and what a strong response looks like, see how the AI marks your responses.

This is a coaching benchmark to track your improvement across sessions, not an official interview score. No medical school ever sees it.

Typed mode

Practise without a camera

The typed mode lets you write your response instead of speaking it. You receive the same six-criteria AI feedback as the spoken mode. This is useful when you want to practise response structure and argument quality without needing a microphone or quiet space.

Spoken mode
Record your response. It is transcribed automatically, then the AI reviews the transcript and scores across six criteria.
Typed mode
Type your response. The AI reviews the text directly. Same six-criteria scoring. No microphone or camera needed.
Beyond the station bank

More than a question bank

Reading prompts off a list is not what interview day feels like. The tool gives you the pressure, the follow-ups and the progress tracking a real MMI prep program needs.

AI role-play actor
Hold a live conversation with an AI character - an anxious patient, a peer, a community member - that reacts to your approach in real time. It only ever marks your lines, the way an actor station works. New in beta for MMI Pro subscribers: a spoken version - your voice in, the character's voice back - built for interviews where you talk with real people.
Probe follow-up interviewer
After a station, an AI interviewer asks a pointed follow-up, then records and reviews your reply so you practise thinking on your feet, not just delivering an opener.
Timed mock circuit
Run a full multi-station circuit under real timing and get one combined performance report - the closest thing to a dress rehearsal before interview day. See how it works ->
Progress that compounds
A category mastery dashboard, before/after scores when you re-attempt a station, and a prep plan that targets your weakest criteria as your interview date approaches.
Your Interview Playbook
Once you have five marked stations, the AI builds your personal pre-interview playbook from your own best answers: your stories, your strongest lines word for word, and the traps that cost you marks. Print it and read it the night before. Included with MMI Pro or any credit balance.
Share a marked station
Turn any marked station into a link that opens in any browser, with no account needed at the other end. You tick exactly what travels with it: the scenario, your recording, your transcript question by question, the marking and your score. Send it to a mentor, a tutor, a parent or a study partner when you want a human second opinion on what the AI said. Free on every plan, and you can change or delete the link whenever you want.

Recordings are also saved on your device as you speak - if your browser ever crashes mid-station, your answer is offered back to you when you return, not lost.

Mock exams

Choose a baseline or an unseen full mock

Two paid mocks bookend your prep. The Baseline Mock tells you exactly where you stand when you begin. The Full MMI Mock is the dress rehearsal for the week before your interview: eight stations you have never seen, hand-written by Dan and kept off the practice bank, run back to back with real timing and no feedback until the end.

Common questions

MMI practice FAQ

Is MMI practice free?
Try three stations without an account. A free account opens the bank and includes your first full Premium review. Further reviews use Transcript or Premium credits, or the corresponding MMI Pro subscription.
What criteria does the AI use to score MMI responses?
Six criteria, each scored 1 to 5: Empathy (understanding of all perspectives), Communication (structure and tone), Reasoning (depth of argument), Reflection (self-awareness), Real-world Awareness (understanding of healthcare contexts), and Problem Solving (working an unfamiliar problem to a workable plan). Written feedback is given for each criterion.
Can I practise without a camera or microphone?
Yes. The typed mode lets you type your response instead of speaking. You receive the same six-criteria AI feedback. Typed mode uses one Transcript credit per review. Good for practising response structure when a camera setup is not available.
What types of MMI stations are in the bank?
Ethics (end-of-life, resource allocation, professional duties), interpersonal conflict (peer pressure, authority disagreement), role-play (patient, colleague, community member), personal statement (motivation, resilience, leadership), teamwork and collaboration, and healthcare system scenarios covering equity, access, and policy.
What is specialist mode?
Specialist mode expects a more advanced grasp of how healthcare works and of the ethical tensions inside a case. It is designed for applicants with a clinical or healthcare background. Standard mode is recommended for most applicants.
Can I show someone else a station I have been marked on?
Yes. Any marked MMI station can be turned into a link that anyone can open without an account, and you choose what is on the page: the scenario, your recording, your transcript question by question, the marking and your overall score. It is free on every plan, the page is not indexed by search engines, a shared recording stays up for 60 days, and deleting the link takes everything offline straight away. Marking appears only on stations reviewed with Transcript or Premium marking.
How is my overall MMI score calculated?
Each station also gets a single overall Key2MD mark out of 5 with a band, from Poor to Excellent. It is a holistic judgement formed the way Dan forms it when he marks a student - weighing genuineness and empathy most heavily, balanced against the strength of your reasoning - not an average of the six criteria. It is a coaching benchmark for tracking improvement across sessions, not an official interview score.

Try these MMI practice questions and example approaches before recording your own response. To hear how examiners score each criterion, watch Dan's MMI seminar.
