10 Tips For Viva And Practicals

Something you should remember when you are in the examination hall.

1) Take deep breaths:

If you’ve been made to wait, have a glass of water and take some deep breaths so that your voice is regulated and you don’t seem shaky.Also, prepare a small talk you would be having at the beginning with the examiner. This is essential to break the ice and you’re at ease instead of sounding like a diffident person.

2) Go in with a good attitude.

Don’t see the examiners as evil torturers who get kicks out of making you suffer. They want you to pass. However, if you go in thinking that they want you to fail you’ll not only be more scared, you’ll also be more defensive, which isn’t always a good thing. Instead, try to think of your examiners as people who are really interested in what you have done and who understand all the problems and pitfalls associated with the experiment.

3) Give Your Best:

Whatever you know about the presented question give your best, If you don’t know the answer to the asked question just say “I don’t know”, do not try to fool the examiner (Remember that he knows more than you) answering wrong will have a bad impact rather than saying you don’t know it.

4) If you feel you’ve failed:

You really had a bad try at the experiment and you could not perform the given experiment. Do not panic, it will not take you anywhere, rather think what next you can do to get yourself out of the situation. A good viva after a really bad practical can increase the chances of your success.
