What questions do they ask you in medicine interviews?

[spectroscopy]

ive always wondered, so if anyone could share what they were asked at their interviews or what youve heard is asked that would be great
just curious as to whether theyre knowledge questions, problem solving things, "fit" questions, why med, etc.

Really varies on the uni you go to.

For example, Monash has "stations" with each station have a particular theme (teamwork, rural helth, etc.) with questions around that theme. More info:

Other unis have more "traditional" interviews where it is a panel (3 on 1, the 1 being you) asking you things like "Why do you want to study med", and other questions probing into your character, etc.

Some unis have a mix of the MMI and traditional structure, where they may have both traditional questions and scenarios (eg. JCU).

There are also a couple of unis (such as Cambridge) which infamously have completely random interview questions, eg. https://sites.google.com/site/oxbridgeinterviewquestions/medicine.  Even in Aus, I've heard of some unis making there candidates solve physical puzzles (UWS), so random stuff happens.

Really varies depending on where you go as each uni is looking for slightly different things

(N.B. that a few Aus unis don't allow disclosing of questions, which is why I've been very general in response)

Hello, I got an interview for Monash medical school but do not know how to prepare myself for the interview.  Do you have previously asked questions from the MMI as well as do you know any link to practice for the situational judgement test? The links you posted does not work for some reason.  Thank you.
