Test Vivas
Some instructors create test vivas for practice. These:
- Don't count toward your grade
- Let you experience the full flow with real questions
- May have unlimited attempts depending on settings
- Are clearly labeled as "Test" or "Practice" on your dashboard
Pro tip: If a test viva is available, complete it first to get comfortable with the interface before your graded viva.

Common Questions
I don't see my viva
It may not be available yet. Check the start date with your instructor or look in your LMS for assignment details.
Why can't I start my viva?
Some vivas require you to submit an assignment in your LMS first. Check if there's a linked submission requirement.
When will I get my grade?
This depends on your instructor. Some release grades as they review; others wait until all submissions are graded.
