Noticing mistakes VIVA

    Hi all,
    I am facing my VIVA a couple of weeks after Christmas next year. Having started to prepare, I am noticing SO many typos and small mistakes i.e. few sp mistakes but also where I have wrong number written in text to table, I'm sure this is all fairly normal, and I have made a note of any that I see on my copy of my thesis...
    But in one of my results chapters, I have noticed some inaccuracies with my stats method. I am totally aware of them and can outline them exactly. It will mean changing tables slightly (I envisaged some corrections anyway), but the main results and findings of the chapter will not change much. Is this enough to fail somebody's VIVA?
    I'm starting to panic now!

    I'm also due to have my viva after Christmas, probably in March actually. I seriously doubt that it would be a deal breaker, given that you know about it anyway. Either he/she will notice it, in which case you seem to be fully on top of what needs changing, or they won't.

    Just letting you know VIVA is over and it was a walk in the park! Not joking, 2.5 hours, but was very very lucky! Few issues, mostly comments to help improve and not a mention of all the mistakes I'd noticed! MUCH easier than I'd thought. Delighted now!

    Well done! I can't wait to have mine over with. How many day's worth of corrections do you have to get through?
