What to practise for Anglia Ruskin University

Role-play & communicationEthics & moral reasoningMotivation & insightTeamwork & group tasks

MMIPrep runs each of these as a timed station with an AI examiner that scores your structure, content, communication, relevance and depth — the same criteria real interviewers use. The first station is free, no card required.

Preparing for Anglia Ruskin University specifically

  • Practise role-play out loud with someone
  • Structure ethical answers around integrity and moral reasoning explicitly
  • Think aloud on problem-solving stations to show initiative

Common pitfalls here

  • Silent thinking on problem-solving stations — they can't score what they don't hear
  • One-sided ethical answers

How MMI scoring works

Each station is scored independently by its own interviewer, usually against three or four fixed domains — communication, problem-solving or initiative, and integrity or moral reasoning are the common ones. A weak station can't be rescued by a strong one, so consistency matters more than a single standout answer.
