In a debate station, you will be assigned a perspective on an issue and debate with another candidate. Often, you will give feedback on your performance or the other candidate’s performance after the debate. Example: The Olympics are a waste of money. Candidate 1 agrees. Candidate 2 disagrees. Defend your position to the other candidate. How do I prepare for a debate station?Ask your friends to debate with you and practice listening carefully to their points and responding. What is this part of the interview evaluating? Debate stations evaluate how well you interact and communicate with others. Stay focused on the issue and acknowledge your debate partner’s points. When you evaluate the debate, provide positive feedback and tips for what could have worked better. |

Pilot stationsPilot stations test future MMI content. They won't be identified as pilot stations. Don’t panic if you’re asked to label a diagram, respond to a data set, add words to comic bubbles or do something else you weren’t expecting. |

Rest stationsYou can rest, get a drink of water and possibly talk to a current student at the rest station. The rest station can throw you off during the MMI as it can distract you from the flow of the interview; don’t rehash your previous stations or try to predict which questions will be next. Take a drink, stay calm and be ready to move to your next station at the signal. References |
