Bond Bond Medicine: Psychometric Test and Interview Overview

[heal_hooked]

Hi,

Does any one know how the MMIs will be held this year? I know it is in-person, but I'm a bit unsure on how many stations there will be, and how long we'll need to be in each station.

If someone could help that would be great!!!

Thank you in advance!

Yeah

See Bond99 writing below from the beginning of this thread:

Interviews:

Q1: " 4 or 8 stations + timings of stations + information per station?"
So the interview process has changed recently, it was different in 2018 and then last year in 2019.

In 2018, there was 8 stations, total of 8 questions, 7 minutes each + two minutes rest stop, with pre-reading of the question before entering the interviewers room.

In 2019 and 2020, there was 4 question stations, 1 main question and then 1 follow up question, making it 2 questions per station. 4 rest stations with the same 2 mins pre reading as before.

Q2: "Just wondering what types of questions each of those stations are based on"
In terms of the questions asked, it is based on you as an individual rather than your merit. I have listed certain areas below

• Teamwork
• Leadership
• Ethics and morals (Scenario)
• General medicine related
• Dispute resolution (scenario)
• Dealing with medicine-related stress
• Integration of life experiences with responses (life/studies) → how has it influenced you to pursue medicine
• Strengths and weaknesses
• Regrets and achievements
• Learning experience
• Failure
• Volunteer work/Employment

This is just a list made from previous questions but hopefully you can see that it is more on your past experiences/qualities rather than a specific topic. This can be quite different to other universities, who may have more direct specific questions. An example being JCU, who like asking questions regarding the rural issues faced.

Just in regards the the number of stations, on bond's FAQ page, they mention 8 stations. Does this mean they switched it up again?

Yes this is weird because someone told me that Bond said 4-6 stations in the interview this year. But now they have completely listed 8 stations.

Yeah, i was doing some searching, and i was able to find a previous version of their faq website from last year and it said the 8 stations as well. So i believe they have just forgotten to change it lmao. Either way, i guess we'll be finding out in a couple of hours.

Anyone know when the interview offers are coming out or if they came out already?

Not sure what time they start, perhaps now-ish, but from memory last year they progressively were sent out.
