The Seven Steps

I like details. I like tips. I like solutions.

I also like the big picture, like these seven steps to being ready for your viva:

1. Submit your thesis.
2. Sketch out a viva prep plan.
3. Check the regulations and make sure you follow them.
4. Ask for help when you need it.
5. Do the prep work needed to be ready.
6. Find opportunities to rehearse being in the viva.
7. Reflect on the knowledge, capability and progress that has got you this far.

This is the big picture – and there over 2800 more posts on the Viva Survivors blog that dig deeper!

PS: I’ll be sharing a lot of advice and ideas at my Viva Survivor session on March 27th 2025. Registration is open now for my webinar and includes a catch-up recording if you can’t attend live.
