How to prepare for University of Edinburgh
- This format mixes panel-style conversation with MMI-style stations or group tasks — prepare for both a sustained conversation and shorter, sharper exchanges.
- Teamwork stations are scored on how you collaborate, not just the outcome — practise narrating your thinking so a partner (or examiner) can follow it.
- Stations run long enough for a real conversation — a one-line answer will look underprepared; be ready to develop your point when asked to expand.
