I also got asked about providing great service despite facing difficulty (instead of working alone) and persevering to learn something (instead of the 2 week course question)
I think the criteria for working alone is covered as part of the question about performing a role/task similar to that of a train driver. Regarding, the question about persevering to learning something, I understand that you would have to describe the problems encountered and solved, such as time constraints, or maybe some other difficulties? Maybe other members could describe the problems they encountered trying to learn something.
All those sound right except give an example of a role similar to a train driver. I've sat 2 mmi and the last one isn't even a year old and I've never had that question. I think my 6th may have been something like give an example of a time you've communicated a message effectively
When I first attempted the MMI in 2014, I did get asked that last question (it was the one question which let me down too). The question asked about a ‘task’ as opposed to a ‘role’ though if I remember correctly.
It seems they may regularly rotate the 6 questions from a pool.
The train driver question is the one question which seems to pop up most frequently on the careers section of this forum, never seem to hear so much about the two questions such as working without making mistakes, or providing a good level of service whilst encountering difficulty.
Until now, I have never been convinced that they rotate the questions. I am now wondering if it is actually possible for different operators to customise the set of questions posed in the MMI. I gather that different sub-questions will be thrown in depending on your responses in the SJE.
