Preparing for Brighton and Sussex Medical School specifically

  • 10-minute stations are long — prepare depth, not just an opening
  • Read the MSC core values and attributes framework
  • Remember a single weak station ends it — consistency is essential

Common pitfalls here

  • Running out of things to say partway through a long station
  • Dropping below "good" anywhere

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.
