UoM Medicine guarantee

Hello,
A stipulation of the 99 ATAR UoM guaranteed graduate MD is that one must satisfactorily ‘pass’ 5 out of the 8 MMI stations.
I have two overarching questions

1. How hard is it to simply ‘pass’ these MMI?
I have the understanding that typically passing the stations is pretty easy but it’s getting a ‘good’ score that is difficult. Is this true?


2. Regardless of the FFP Guarantee, I intend to sit the GAMSAT and try for a CSP  as well. Does this mean I will have to sit two separate interviews or will the same one count to both the FFP ‘pass’ needed and my performance for the CSP that I am competing for.


Thank you

1. You'll pass MMI fine. Certainly there are some people who don't, but it would be pretty extraordinary for someone to miss out on the guarantee because they didn't manage to pass the MMI.

2. I'm pretty sure you just sit the one round of interviews.
