Use Your Network
It’s just you answering questions in the viva. Before then there are lots of people who can help you prepare. Think about your network. Think about the resources you can draw on. For example:
- Do you know someone who can tell you about your examiners’ research? It could be a boost before you read some papers.
- Do you know someone who can tell you about their viva? It could help to settle your mind about expectations.
- Do you know someone who can listen to you talk about your thesis? It could be a way to get some useful feedback.
Who do you know, and how can they help you?
