Hi! I have a Viva Voce assessment tomorrow and I'm prepared for it but I was wondering if you maybe have some advice for this kind of assessment (if you've done it before that is.) I've never done this before and I am actually really nervous.

Hey! Elyse might pop in here soon but I thought I'd wish you good luck for tomorrow anyway!
After chatting to a friend who did this exact same assessment last year she was adamant that if you are confident & passionate about your work and have lots to say about it you will be totally fine! It's highly likely that your teacher will be actually really interested in your ideas and will want to know more, so give them what they want without waffling on! 😃 Its one of those assessment types that can be really weird especially when there's nothing like it in the earlier years of high school. Your teacher knows this too so they will be trying to make you as comfortable as possible.
Use your nerves to go smash it!! ;D

Hey there! Sorry I didn't get to this a few hours earlier, but just in case you check the forums before school, I'll add to Sarah's comment. Absolutely, know your passion and express that passion in your words! Be articulate, and tick all boxes. So, look into the criteria for the vive voce, or if it isn't supplied, look at the reflection statement criteria. It talks about research into form and concept, among other things. Be prepared to discuss both of these, the research into both! Sometimes we get caught up in the research into concept and forget to talk about form. Your teacher might prompt you to talk about form, but he or she mightn't, so bring it up yourself if possible to ensure you take the discussion that way - particularly if concept and form are interlinked for you at this stage!
If you're reading this after the vive voce, how did you think you went? :)
