One of the main reasons vet schools have interviews is they want to see what sort of vet you will make which is often hard to tell from aptitude tests and A-Levels. Here we will show you how to display your compassion, empathy and organisation skills which will make you a perfect vet.

Being able to work in a team is an absolute must as a vet and we explore scenarios in which you have worked in a team. We will explore why this is important in a veterinary setting and tie in what you have learned in previous tutorials in motivation for veterinary medicine. As well as working in a team, you need to show clear leadership and explore examples of where you could have improved how you went about leading a team.
Lesson 4
Organisation & Time Management
Vet School can be a difficult time and universities want to make sure you’re able to cope with the pressure. They want to see how you organise yourself and manage your time. As well as motivation for veterinary medicine they want to see you have a life outside of being a vet and we will test you on possible questions involving stress and some of the difficulties faced by vet professionals – in particular starting veterinary surgeons.
Lesson 5
Personality Scenarios
After gaining all the knowledge so far, we will delve further by going through some scenarios which put you to the test. This involves a mixture of MMI and direct questioning. You will gain feedback on your progress so far and sit down with your tutor and identify areas you need to improve further.

We can easily work around your schedule, we can do evenings and weekends whatever is convenient for you.

Some students come 1 month in advance, and some come 1 week in advance. We will tailor our pace to your interview, and your preference.
