How to prepare for the Saskatchewan dentistry MMI

An MMI rewards fast reading, a clear decision and a follow-through in every station. Arvin Ardakani runs timed stations with applicants and marks each one on six skills: task focus, reasoning, perspective, communication, action and adaptability (what he looks for when marking). Practise out loud against a 10-minute clock with MMI practice questions with answers, and retry with one correction at a time. Applying to medicine as well? See Saskatchewan medicine’s Casper and interview format.
