MMI tips/timing?

[salemstein]

Hey guys, many of the schools I applied to have MMI's. A typical MMI station gives you 2 mins to review a scenario, and 8 mins to answer. Heres what I'm concerned about: am I doing something wrong if I'm not fully using up all 8 mins? I usually get to my point pretty fast (while considering all sides) and if I try and extend my answer, it feels like I'm rambling on.

If I'm not mistaken, they also have the ability to ask you questions whether it's clarification or an addendum to the initial prompt.

I am also pretty concerned about this. If I am talking for 8 min it would just be rambling. Would much rather give my position in a few (read 2-3) minutes and then debate with them than just ramble for 8 min while they sit there stone faced.
