A Viva Prep Tip

When you know what you need you’re on your way to getting it.

That’s a piece of advice that is broader than the viva but it’s true nonetheless: if you have a problem with any aspect of viva prep look for the need that’s not being met.

• If you’re unsure about a regulation you need clarity.
• If you’re concerned about responding in the viva you need practice and perhaps reassurance.
• If you’re worried about remembering things then you need practical actions to help your memory.

Once you know what you need you can take steps – and often the possible steps you could take spring forth as options almost as soon as you figure out the need.
