Face the panel
before the panel.
Your viva is one room, two examiners, and three to seven years of your work on the table. Most candidates rehearse twice, politely, with friends who pull punches.
This panel reads your entire thesis, the research you built on, and your real examiners' own work. It attacks your weakest joint, quotes your chapters back at you, remembers every soft answer, and lets you go again as many times as you need. When the real questions come, they will feel familiar.
Convene your panel
The examiners prepare from what you give them. The better the brief, the more real the viva.
Lodge your full thesis, the papers you built on, your own publications, and your examiners' profiles or publication lists. The panel reads everything before the viva, quotes your own chapters back at you, and asks from your real examiners' research positions.
