King's declined to tell us which stations it runs.

On the day

Online MMI: KCL's FAQ says interviews will 'likely' be online and applicants for 2025 and 2026 entry sat it online. Applicants describe each station as a 10 minute block (2 minutes to read the question, 6 minutes to answer, 2 minutes while you are marked) and 6 stations, while KCL's own FAQ says around 7.

Each online station is a 10 minute block: 2 minutes to read the question, 6 minutes to answer (follow-ups are common), 2 minutes while you are marked.

Interviewers know nothing about you beforehand and mark against a standardised score sheet; the personal statement is rarely raised.

Fit-to-sit policy: raise any problem with the admissions team on the day, as mitigating circumstances are not considered afterwards.

You sign a non-disclosure form on King's Apply before the interview, and your slot is a fixed date and time with roughly one to two weeks' notice.

You can make notes while reading.
