Ask Yourself Why

When you’re getting ready for your viva it could help to ask yourself why a lot.

• If something is particularly strong in your research: why is this good?
• If you find a typo or a part that needs changing: why will that change make things better?
• If you find yourself unsure about something: why are you unsure and what could you do?
• If you feel nervous, confident, uncertain or amazing: why do you feel that way and what does that mean for you?

Whatever happens, whatever you find, what you feel – if you ask yourself why you can go a little deeper. Ask yourself why and you can uncover more.

Ask yourself why and you can find a way to become even more ready for your viva.
