Percentages & Preparation
From research I’ve done in the past I estimate that 75% of vivas are finished by the three-hour mark. The vast majority of candidates pass and around 90% of candidates are asked to complete some form of correction, with most of those being minor corrections.
Knowing the stats helps but preparing helps even more. It’s good to know that you’re likely to succeed but far better to know that you’re ready. Learn about what vivas are like and then invest your time in preparation.
Percentages help a little, preparation helps a lot.
