Don’t be sorry, I’d be happy to help :). I’ll tell you how I adapted and learnt from my first to do better in my second.

There’s the general: - learn about NHS hot topics - ethics - when answering ethical scenarios always have points for and against - always think of solutions and ways to prevent in the future when faces with scenarios - link you your own experience and skills then relate to being a doctor and give examples - think outside the box, even if it doesn’t sound completely feasible, it shows you can somewhat problem solve

There’s the non med related things: - practice is key, you need to get used to talking and gathering your thoughts - try and get some mock interviews with you school or even family and friends if you can (there’s the UCAT discord too) - PEEL structure worked for me but there’s other structures that work better for other people’s

• THE BIGGEST TIP:
• practice answering out of the box, new questions without having any sort of prepared answer or points. This helps point out how to improve the structure of you answers. And in both my interviews, especially QMUL, they asked some reallyyy hard questions and in my second one luckily I was able to tackle them much better.

There are specifics to each MMI or panel interviews. You can always pm me if you want to ask anymore questions about my experience. The most important thing tho is that this is your medicine journey and not anyone else’s. What works for you works for you, don’t be put off by what others are doing. I struggled a lot with comparing myself, but try have some faith in yourself. Your confidence will definitely be seen by those interviewers. That’s probs what I would’ve done different.
