    What does it take to fail the MMI?

    No, your two lives relate to any of the assessments that form part of the application process. 1683377007 As said, use real life experiences rather than hypothetical. If they're safety related, all the better. When you're elaborating, use the STAR technique....I had a Situation where... / my...
