Any academics in the sub? It's my viva day after tomorrow and wondering if anyone has been through a viva and survived. I've overprepared to within an inch of my life - completely outsourced my terrible working memory and delayed recall to a 'meaty' set of notes.

Adjustments are all good, examiners are aware.

My main concern is meds. I take methylphenidate XR but it wears off mid afternoon - the viva time has just been shifted at late notice to 1.30pm. I could take it late, but worried taking it on a stomach just before lunch will lessen the effect (always take it at 9am about 2 hours after brekkie). Planning to take some short release in with me, but never usually take them so it would be an experiment! Any advice?
