Your first career is the part of your application nobody else has.
The season in numbers
Know what to change before the real interview
See where your answer lost its point, what was missing and what to try next. Your own words, with feedback on each question and scores across four skills.
A good career, told well. The turning point got lost in it.
“So I spent about, um, a few years in consulting, and over time I realised…”
Open with the moment you decided, then one skill from your career that medicine needs.
-
“Why medicine now, and not straight after school?”
Honest. Make the decision sound tested, not sudden.
-
“What from your first degree will make you a better doctor?”
Real skills. Show one in action, with a patient in mind.
-
“How will you cope with being a student again, on less money?”
Realistic and calm. Name your plan in a sentence.
Illustrative example. Your scores will differ.
“Why now was the question I was avoiding. It was useful to hear my answer back and realise how much of it was background, rather than a reason.”
One question, and what a strong answer does
An example of the kind of question you’ll be asked, and what the feedback looks for.
“You already have a good career. Why give it up for medicine?”
Follow-up: “What will you find hardest about being a student again?”
What a strong answer does
- Tells the turning point as one specific story, not a list.
- Shows the decision was tested: work experience, reading, conversations with doctors.
- Links the first career to skills medicine needs, without overselling them.
- Is realistic about the cost and the years ahead.

Before you ask
Is an AI good enough?
For the reps, yes. It asks, listens and follows up on what you actually said, up to two hours a day, at 2 a.m. or the night before. Then it scores four skills and quotes your own words back, so you know exactly which answer to fix.
Will it ask about my previous career?
Yes. Upload your CV and statement and the interviewer asks about your degree, your work and why you are changing course now, then follows up on your answers.
Does it run a full MMI circuit?
No. Each session is one station or one panel, so you can practise the station you dread, then practise it again.
How fast can I start?
Setup takes about two minutes and needs no account. You choose a plan before your first interview.
How it works
Set up in about two minutes, then interview out loud and see your scores.
-
Add your CV and the medical school
Upload your CV or paste your personal statement, then paste the medical school’s page. Both are optional, and setup takes about two minutes.
-
Interview out loud
Pick 10 minutes for one MMI station, or 15 or 20 for a panel. One AI interviewer asks, listens and follows up.
-
Get scored on four skills
Insight, communication, ethical reasoning and teamwork, each scored, with your own words quoted back and feedback question by question.
-
Go again before the next school
Swap in the next medical school’s page and practise the questions that interview will bring.
The night before
The same evening, two ways.
Without rehearsing
- Your “why medicine, why now” takes the long way round your whole CV.
- You haven’t decided what you’ll say when they ask about the money.
- Your first career sounds like a detour, not a reason.
After practising out loud
- Your “why now” starts with the moment you decided, and stays short.
- You’ve said your answer about finances and student life out loud, calmly.
- Your first career is the evidence, with one skill a doctor needs.
Good to know
15 minutes by default

Voice only
Voice only: no camera and no video, so no feedback on body language. Your spoken answers are transcribed so they can be scored.
Your interviewer’s accent
Your interviewer speaks with a British accent. You can change it in Settings.
