An example of a full Premium review.
A complete Premium review, end to end - a complete review across the six Key2MD practice criteria, plus delivery, presence and rewrite layers. Nothing here is abridged, and your first review is a free Premium review exactly like this one.
/ 5
Your answer does not lean on rehearsed structure to hide thin reasoning - the gaps above are timing and empathy, not authenticity. When an answer sounds fluent but says little, this flag trips and the review shows you exactly where.
Your instinct to be useful is real. The fix is not to care less; it is to time the action.
You moved to fixing before the person felt heard. A strong response makes room for the friend to explain what they need. There is no required order: adapt your reasoning and support to the situation.
"Failing one subject isn't the end of the world, and lots of people fail and still graduate."
"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 helps you understand what support would be useful - so your resit/appeal advice lands instead of bouncing off.
How you came across
Every Premium review measures this from your actual recording. This panel is not a score for polish. It helps you notice whether your delivery supports or distracts from the substance of your answer.
- Swap fillers for a brief silent pause - it reads as considered, not hesitant.
- Your longest pause was 19.3s - fine for thinking, but narrate it ("let me think about that for a second") so it does not read as freezing.
Natural beats polished. Do not chase these numbers until you stop sounding like yourself. Use them only to notice habits that may affect clarity.
Held the lens well through your opening. It drifted down-left each time you listed options - if you use notes, glance and return rather than reading.
Upright with a slight lean-in while talking about your friend - reads as genuinely involved rather than performing concern.
Warm at the start, then your face went neutral once you moved into logistics. Let the concern stay visible while you problem-solve.
You touched your face repeatedly in the second half - invisible to you, distracting on camera. Anchor your hands and it disappears.
Read gently, never to penalise a natural, cultural or neurodivergent style - this exists so nothing about your manner surprises you on interview day.
"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."
Re-record this station. For the first 20 seconds, say nothing that contains a solution - only what you notice they are feeling. Then compare your delivery read: steadier pace, fewer fillers, and the warmth audible.
This is the feedback on every answer.
Record a response and get this back - your first review is a free full Premium review, delivery and presence read included.

Your close friend has started selling detailed notes for a course you both take, including material the lecturer explicitly asked students not to share. They tell you they are saving to help their family through an emergency, and they ask you not to say anything.
What would you do, and what would you weigh up?
One taster per person. A quick read, not a full review - your first full Premium review is free with an account. Answers are marked and not stored.
What happens in a practice session
No download or special equipment required. You can browse all stations before creating an account.
Use saved feedback to choose what to practise next
Turn your coach on and it reads your own AI-marked answers, works out the mistakes that keep coming back, and steers every session there. This is not generic feedback. It gets more tailored to you the more you practise.

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.
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.
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.
| Mode | Reading | Speaking | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 2 min | 5 min (3 prompts) | Realistic single-station conditions |
| Extended | 2 min | 8 min, advance prompts freely | Building full, structured answers |
| Quickfire | 45 sec | 15 sec read + 60 sec each (4 prompts) | Rapid recall and fluency under pressure |
| Random Probe | 2 min | Hidden timer, random follow-ups | Interview-style pressure and unpredictability |
| Custom | Your choice | Your choice | Targeted drilling of specific weak spots |
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.
| Criterion | What the AI assesses |
|---|---|
| Empathy | Does the response demonstrate understanding of the perspectives and feelings of everyone involved? |
| Communication | Is the response structured, clear, and appropriate in tone for the context? |
| Reasoning | Is the ethical or practical reasoning sound, developed, and applied to the specific scenario? |
| Reflection | Does the response show self-awareness, acknowledge uncertainty, and avoid overconfidence? |
| Real-world Awareness | Does the response show understanding of how healthcare systems, resources, and constraints work in practice? |
| Problem Solving | Faced 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MMI Pro subscribers get 20% off both mocks automatically. Mock reports indicate practice performance only - they do not predict or guarantee your real interview outcome.
