Kira doesn't give you a second chance
You see the question, you get a few seconds to think, and the camera starts. When the timer runs out, that's your answer.
Most applicants prepare by reading lists of questions. Then the real prompt appears, the first 20 seconds go to "um", and the best part of their story gets cut off by the clock.
You don't need more questions. You need a system you can run in one take.
What Kira is
Kira Talent is the platform many schools use for timed video and written assessments and for online interviews. On a video question, you get preparation time, then you record one timed answer while the question stays on screen. Written questions have no preparation time. Kira: types of questions
TMU Medicine uses Kira for six timed questions, video and written, that every invited applicant completes between November 19 and 22, 2026. TMU important dates
Kira's practice questions and timers may be different from your real assessment, so always follow your school's instructions. Kira: practice

See the method on one prompt
Original ExperienceMED practice prompt. Not a real Kira question. Training timer: 30 seconds to prepare, 90 seconds to answer.
Prompt: Describe a moment when someone you were trying to help didn't want your help. What did you learn about yourself?
Model answer (illustrative, written for teaching)
A resident I was helping once refused my help, and it taught me that real help starts with asking what someone wants. It was last summer, at a seniors' residence where I helped residents video-call their families on tablets. He kept waving me away and telling me he didn't need help.
At first I felt a bit rejected, and I assumed he was being difficult. Then I realised I'd been treating "helping" as doing the task for him, when what mattered to him was staying independent.
So I changed my approach. I asked him what he wanted to be able to do on his own, we wrote large-print steps together, and I sat beside him while he pressed every button himself. By the third week, he called his granddaughter without me.
Looking back, I'd ask that question on day one, not in week two.
Now I start by asking people what help looks like to them, whether it's a classmate, a teammate or, one day, a patient. Last month, tutoring a younger student, I asked her first, and she told me she only wanted me to check her work. That saved us both an hour.
How it scores on the ARVIN Method: 20 out of 20
- AAnswer: The first sentence gives the answer, it covers both the moment and the lesson about yourself, and it finishes inside 90 seconds.
- RReasoning: It names the real tension, helping versus his independence, and sees his side before acting.
- VValues: It respects his choice and links the lesson to patients, with evidence.
- IInsight: A real feeling and a real assumption, a specific lesson (ask on day one) and later proof (the tutoring example).
- NNatural communication: One idea per paragraph, no warm-up, and it sounds like a person, not a script.
The story takes about a quarter of the time. Thinking, learning and growth get the rest.

Chat with ArvinFrequently asked
What is a Kira assessment?+
A timed set of video and written questions on the Kira Talent platform. Video questions give you preparation time, then one timed recording; written questions have no preparation time.
Source: Kira: types of questions
What does TMU's Kira assessment involve?+
Six timed questions with video and written answers. Invitations go out November 12, 2026, and you complete it between November 19 and 22, 2026. It decides who moves on to file review.
Source: TMU selection process, TMU dates
Can I practise on Kira first?+
Yes, Kira lets you practise, but its practice questions and timers may differ from your real assessment, and real answers can't be redone.
Source: Kira: practice
Are these real Kira questions?+
No. Every prompt is an original ExperienceMED exercise. Arvin never shares real or recalled questions, and you shouldn't use them.
How is my practice marked?+
With the ARVIN Method, Arvin's marking system built from how Kira tells its reviewers to score: five areas (Answer, Reasoning, Values, Insight, Natural communication), 15 checks a reviewer can see or hear, and a score out of 20 for every answer, so you always know your one next fix.
Source: Kira reviewer guide
How do I find my exact timings?+
From your school's invitation and Kira's check-in screen, which shows the number of questions, the type and the time.
Source: Kira: check-in
What device do I need?+
A device with a webcam and microphone on a supported browser. Check Kira's current list before your assessment.

Is this for Western Dentistry's ABS?+
Yes. Western Dentistry's ABS comes in mid-November, after the application closes November 1, and has written and video parts.

I'm applying to Western Medicine. Is it too late?+
This cycle's Western Medicine ABS ran October 8 to 14, 2026. The Western ABS track gets you ready for next cycle.

Does it cover Memorial and McGill interviews?+
Yes. Memorial runs an 8-station MMI and a 30-minute Competency Assessment on Kira, generally in January. McGill Dentistry runs a virtual MMI on Kira in early to mid February 2027.

Yes. CUSM uses Kira timed video and written assessments, NYU Dentistry asks every applicant for a Kira video interview, and Columbia Dental invites selected applicants.
