5 stations on the day

BSMS declined to tell us which stations it runs.

On the day

Applicants choose in person (early December or early January) or Zoom (late January or early February); same questions and mark schemes across both, with no advantage to either format.

Five 10-minute "discussions" rather than short stations, each led by one assessor working through about four standardised questions and marked out of 20, so depth of answer matters more than speed.

Assessors know nothing about you and personal statements are not used at any stage, so bring your own experiences into the answers yourself.

Online candidates must show photo ID and then pan the camera round the room to prove they are alone with no notes; an invigilator sits in each room.

Timekeeper broadcasts at 5 minutes, 9 minutes and 10 minutes; the interviewer taking notes or reading guidance is part of the marking, not a bad sign.

No notes allowed.

A 90 second break between each discussion; no separate longer break.
