3. Will I need to sign a non-disclosure declaration?

All applicants are required to agree to a non-disclosure declaration. This requires that you (a) keep the knowledge of the interview questions, the MMI content and processes strictly confidential, (b) that you do not reproduce, duplicate and/or copy any information provided in this admissions process, and (c) not use or disclose any of the information provided in this admissions process through any means – whether oral, written or electronic. This is to ensure that all interviewed applicants (whether interviewed at the start of the MMI cycle or in a later session) have an equal opportunity without any advantage / disadvantage.

4. How do I prepare for the MMI?

The MMI does not test specific domain knowledge. The format is designed to allow applicants to showcase their interpersonal and critical thinking skills. The best way to prepare is to practise expressing yourself articulately and logically in a timed online environment. Be attentive to the questions during the assessment and take note of the time allocations for each question.

After the MMI

1. Who are the MMI assessors?
