Chester Medicine Interview Questions

Free practice questions for the Chester medicine interview, with the interview format taken from the university's own admissions pages.

Chester interview format

Chester interviews take the form of six Multiple Mini Interviews and last about an hour and a half in total. Each station is scored by two trained assessors, drawn from medical professionals, academics, current students and lay people, and the stations are designed to assess you against the GMC's Good Medical Practice guidance. Chester does not publish station timings or whether the circuit runs on campus or online, so check your invitation before you plan your travel. After the MMIs, each candidate's score profile is reviewed to decide who gets an offer.

• Format: Six station MMI
• Stations: 6
• When: Dates are confirmed in your interview invitation
