MEMs are a series of short, structured stations designed to assess applicants' traits and personal qualities. They resemble the CASPer test in that students are placed in sensitive situations and are required to navigate them. They last two hours and are made up of ten to twelve ten-minute stations. Stations can be of two types; question-based stations where candidates are given a question/problem  to analyze or question-based stations on scenarios where contestants engage in a role-play scenario with an actor.
