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.

Illustrative sample ● AI feedback · MMI station · Premium review
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?
Your 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."
3
/ 5
Overall impression
Satisfactory - warm instincts, solved too soon
You reached for the fix before the person felt heard. That one change is the difference between Satisfactory and Good here.
The six criteria
Empathy
2 / 5
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.
Communication
4 / 5
Clear and easy to follow. It speaks at your friend more than with them - fewer instructions, more presence.
Reasoning
3 / 5
Sensible options (resit, appeal) - but offered before you understood the situation. Good judgement applied at the wrong moment still costs marks.
Reflection
2 / 5
No sign you checked whether your help was wanted, or weighed your own exam against being there. The closing line lands as self-focused.
Real-world awareness
3 / 5
You know the mechanics. A top answer also notices risk: "give up on everything" is a flag worth gently checking before moving on.
Problem solving
3 / 5
Your plan is workable (resit, appeal, coordinator) but it solves the admin problem while the presenting one, a friend saying they want to give up on everything, goes unframed. Frame the real problem first, then plan.
Polished Auditor check
Not detected

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.

Read this first
Biggest strength

Your instinct to be useful is real. The fix is not to care less; it is to time the action.

What's holding you back

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.

Your words, mapped to the criteria
"...failing one subject isn't the end of the world..."
EmpathyMinimising the event instead of naming the feeling - the line that cost the most.
"...help them email the coordinator to sort out options."
Problem solvingConcrete, doable, and shared ("help them") rather than taking over.
"...make sure I still got enough sleep for my own exam."
ReflectionA fair boundary, but said without acknowledging the trade-off - own it out loud and it becomes a strength.
Your line, upgraded
You said

"Failing one subject isn't the end of the world, and lots of people fail and still graduate."

Stronger

"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."

Why it scores

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.

Delivery read - from your voice
Premium delivery read

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.

Speaking pace150 wpm
Right in the natural conversational range. This reads as composed. Target 120-160 wpm
Filler density10.1%
Fillers were frequent - usually a sign of speaking a little ahead of your thinking. A short silent pause beats an "um". 80 filler words of 792
Vocal variation - how genuine you soundExpressive
Lots of natural pitch movement - this reads as animated and engaged. 6.1 semitones of pitch movement
792
Words spoken
12
Thinking pauses
19.3s
Longest pause
Your pace slowed in the second half (175 -> 146 wpm) - often a sign of more careful thinking, or fatigue.
What to work on
  • 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.

Presence read - from your video
Eye contact
Mostly steady

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.

Posture
Open, engaged

Upright with a slight lean-in while talking about your friend - reads as genuinely involved rather than performing concern.

Expression
Flattens under load

Warm at the start, then your face went neutral once you moved into logistics. Let the concern stay visible while you problem-solve.

Habits
One flagged

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.

Lift my answer - full rewrite
Keeps your voice and your decision - rebuilds how it lands

"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."

1The feeling is named and given time before any solution appears.
2The "giving up on everything" flag is checked gently instead of skipped.
3Your own exam is still protected - stated as a plan, so it reads as honest rather than self-focused.
Your next rep

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.

The same Key2MD feedback that runs the practice tool. Speak or type your answer to the station below and see how it reads you - right here, before you sign up for anything.

The station

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.

How it works

What happens in a practice session

No download or special equipment required. You can browse all stations before creating an account.

1
Load a station
Select from 230 stations covering ethics, role-play, conflict, personal statement, teamwork and healthcare policy. Each station includes a scenario and follow-up prompts.
2
Deliver your response
Take 2 minutes to prepare, then speak your response aloud (recorded for transcription) or type it using the typed mode. Prompts are revealed progressively to mirror a real MMI format.
3
Get AI feedback
The AI scores your response across six criteria and gives written feedback on what worked and what to improve. Your first review is free. Subsequent reviews use a Transcript credit ($14) or MMI Pro access.
Adaptive AI coach

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.

1
Spots your patterns
It tracks recurring mistakes across your marked answers - like solving before you connect, or committing without weighing both sides - and shows you how often each one shows up.
2
Reminds you in the moment
Right before your next station, your coach surfaces the one trap you keep falling into, so you catch it while you answer instead of after you are marked.
3
Sharpens your marking
Your coach tells the marker which mistakes to watch for, so your feedback checks whether you actually fixed them this time. Reads only your own answers, and off by default.

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

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.
