The UWA MMI model consists of 8 numbered stations, each focussing on one question. Candidates will move between stations in numbered order, with a different interviewer at each station. Each station takes 7 minutes, consisting of 2 minutes to consider the question for that station and 5 minutes with the interviewer to verbally respond. International school leaver and international graduate interviews are by a panel of two interviewers, with the process taking approximately 50 minutes including registration, introductions, and the formal questions. Typically there will be five MMI-style questions to be addressed within the interview. Each question is not specifically timed, although there is an overall time limit for the interview. Shortlisted candidates will be advised the number of questions as part of the preparation material provided prior to the interview.
