Acuity Insights runs it online. There is no live interviewer: you read each prompt and record your answer on your own.
Walk into the early-phase MMI already knowing how it feels.
Arvin's step-by-step program for Acuity's early-phase MMI: the full course, mock exams that look and run like the real platform, and one-on-one coaching with Arvin. For medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, nursing and every other pre-health applicant.
Built and taught by Arvin Ardakani, a final-year medical student. In Pro and Elite, you work with him one-on-one.
Eight minutes. A camera. Nobody nodding back.
There is no interviewer to read and no smile to tell you you're on track. The scenario appears, one clock starts, and those 8 minutes have to cover everything: reading, thinking and speaking.
Most applicants prepare by reading lists of questions. Then the clock starts... they plan for too long, ramble for the rest, and run out of time before the part that counts.
You don't need more questions. You need a structure you can run on any station, and enough real practice that it runs on its own.
How the early-phase MMI works
8 stations
Eight stations, including a rest station, so you get a short pause partway through.
One 8-minute timer
Each station has a single 8-minute clock for everything: reading the prompt, thinking and recording your response. How you split it is up to you.
What's inside the program
Everything you need to walk in ready, in one place.
Mock exams that feel like the real thing
The same layout as Acuity's platform: the scenario and task on one side, your camera on the other, one 8-minute timer, a rest station halfway and the upload screen at the end. By exam day, nothing on that screen is new.
A comprehensive bank of practice scenarios
Ethical dilemmas, personal experience questions and policy prompts, each one recorded under the real timer. Record it, watch it back, do it again.
Arvin's structure for every station
A clear, step-by-step structure for ethical scenarios and another for personal questions, so you always know what your next sentence is.
The Buzz Words trainer
The words that show assessors the qualities they are looking for, drilled with flashcards and fill-in-the-blank until they come out on their own.
Model answers for every mock station
Finish a mock, then see how Arvin answers every station and compare it with what you said.
Every answer saved
Every recording stays on your account, so you can watch your first attempt next to your last and see how far you came.
