Stations run back to back with a two-minute gap, and a different interviewer scores each one independently — they do not see each other's scores, so a weak station does not follow you round the circuit. Candidates may sit the interview in person or over Zoom; Manchester states both are assessed identically.
Practise this format before your interview
MMI stations are short and scored independently, so a weak station need not sink the circuit. Work through questions by category, or run a timed mock.
