Our reviews

Hear first-hand from our incredible community of customers.

"I was posting on Reddit every week looking for practice partners. Most people would ghost after one session. Videoath matched me with a group of 4 who all had interviews at the same time. We practiced together for 6 weeks straight."

"The mentor feedback was a game-changer. I recorded myself for months but had no idea if I was improving. After my first Videoath response, I finally knew exactly what to fix."

"I was so anxious about MMIs I couldn't sleep. The structured paths gave me a clear roadmap. Instead of randomly practicing, I knew exactly what to work on each day."

"BeMo wanted $2,000 for coaching. Videoath gave me unlimited practice with instant feedback for a fraction of the cost. I practiced 40+ scenarios before my interview."

"I'm an introvert who hated practicing with strangers on Zoom. The async recording feature let me practice at my own pace, review my responses, and improve without the awkwardness."

"I failed my first MMI at Calgary. Found Videoath, practiced systematically for 4 months, and got accepted to Ottawa the next cycle. The difference was having structured feedback."

"The practice group accountability was huge. We had scheduled slots twice a week. Knowing my group was counting on me kept me consistent when I wanted to procrastinate."

Alberta Medicine

"CASPer was my weakness. I scored 2nd quartile my first attempt. After practicing with Videoath's typing scenarios and mentor feedback, I hit 4th quartile. That opened doors to schools I thought were out of reach."
