Unscripted

Daily Post

You can rehearse for the viva, but you can’t take a script.

It’s worth using questions to practise how you respond, but much less useful to have written responses to parrot.

Your examiners want a conversation rather than a performance; a chat rather than a play.

Unscripted doesn’t mean unready.
