Hey!
There are some discussion threads on this forum that have some good basic information about the interviews that you might want to read if you haven't already. The mock MMIs are excellent for getting a feel for the setup of the real ones, and when I did them last year we got individual feedback from vet students at every practice station. There was also a debriefing at the end where they gave more general tips for everyone that I also found helpful. I didn't do any preparation for the mock ones but I still got a lot out of them.
There is also a book by Bernard Rollin called An introduction to Veterinary Medical Ethics: Theory and Cases. If you are a UofG student you can access this book through the campus library's website (just log in through off-campus sign in and search for it). You can also just buy it if you want a hard copy. I found the cases in there to be really helpful in challenging me to figure out how I would approach some of the more complex situations in vet medicine. One way that I practiced was to get someone to choose a random case and have them time me while I tried to answer it out loud to them. You could also record yourself doing this and play it back to see what you might want to improve.
Some people opted not to read the book and did just fine as well, so it's certainly not mandatory. But you might find it helpful.
Best of luck
