Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about our PhD viva support service.

How many mock viva sessions should I have?
Most candidates benefit from 2-3 sessions. The first session identifies weaknesses, the second shows improvement, and the third confirms readiness. Our package deal covers all three at a discounted rate.
Who conducts the mock vivas?
Our mock vivas are conducted by active or retired PhD examiners who have examined theses in your subject area. They replicate the real examination experience, including challenging questions and cross-examination.
What questions will I be asked?
Questions are based on your actual thesis, including methodology choices, findings interpretation, contribution to knowledge, limitations, and future research directions. We also prepare you for general viva questions common across disciplines.
Can sessions be conducted online?
Yes. All sessions are available via video call (Zoom, Teams, or your preferred platform). Online sessions are recorded for your review, and we provide the same high-quality experience as in-person preparation.
How far before my viva should I start preparing?
We recommend starting 4-6 weeks before your viva date. This gives enough time for multiple sessions, implementing feedback, and building confidence. However, we can accommodate shorter timelines if needed.
Can you guarantee my work will receive a specific grade?
No. We provide model content and editing — never guaranteed grades.
Will you complete my work for direct submission?
We provide support and examples. You are always the author of your submitted work.
