Meeting with External Examiner

Duffman K · 2016-06-08 13:55:25

So I've just finished a 4 year degree in chemistry, and have been called for a Viva interview tomorrow with an external examiner. I've heard that you are called if you are on the brink of a grade, like your average is 59% or 69% and it's to see whether you should be bumped up or not. Does anyone know what might be involved…

Does anyone know what might be involved or how to prepare for one at all? I really have no idea what to expect or what sort of questions will be asked.
