Those that passed the cbi/mmi how much did you actually write on the written part. Not sure if I tried to write too much last time

I've been told by someone who's done MMI recently that there's apparently a word limit on the answers and they only been told that when paper sheets were being collected and told they'll be penalised for it. They passed their assessment though.

Myself, I don't recall a word limit.

Either way, I think it's good to keep it short but answer fully.

Seem to recall it was only a small box for a a couple of lines of text (as above, I used bullet points). you then expand upon the details with the assessor afterwards ?

Hi guys, I have my mmi next Tuesday and have a question if anyone can help! I attended an assessment centre last year which did not include an mmi, as these were to be held later in the recruitment process after the dmi. I still had to write down my example answers for the mmi. I have since started an application with a different TOC and have reached the assessment centre stage again to complete only the mmi (I get to skip the other tests as I have passed all of them). Does anyone know whether I will be interviewed with the written answers I provided in the assessment centre I did last year, or will I be asked to complete the form again and have the opportunity to use different examples?

20 or 30 words was the limit when i did my MMI with DB.
Keep it as simple as possible - simpler it is, the harder it is for them to tear into

No, you will be given a sheet to fill in on the day so you're not at an advantage/disadvantage compared to the others there

Precisely, less to trip up on as well
