Practise a Viva with Questions Grounded in Your Project

A useful viva rehearsal exposes decisions you cannot yet explain. It should be anchored in your own project, including the parts that did not work.

A practical sequence

1. Prepare a short project brief covering the problem, method, result and limitations. Remove private participant or client information before sharing it with any external tool.
2. Ask for one examiner-style question at a time. Answer aloud without reading a script, then write down the part where you hesitated.
3. Request a follow-up that challenges one assumption or asks why you rejected an alternative. Check technical feedback against your report or a trusted reference.
4. Repeat weak areas using fresh wording. End by explaining the project in two minutes with an honest account of your contribution and any AI assistance.

An example to adapt

Use the example with a small, permitted section of your own material. Keep the official syllabus and the original source open beside the output. The purpose is to make your thinking visible: what you understood, where you hesitated and which passage resolves the doubt. A useful session should leave you with a corrected note or a question for your teacher, not just a longer collection of generated text.

What to check before you finish

Practising fluency is different from proving correctness. A fluent answer that misstates your method needs correction before more rehearsal.

Choose one question you could not answer at the beginning and attempt it again without looking. If you still cannot explain the idea, reduce the task and revisit the source. Do not use a generated summary as a substitute for required reading or submit generated work contrary to your course rules.
