Contacting examiners after major corrections

L

I had my VIVA last December and was told I need to do major corrections. The examiners gave me a ten point list, which I have been working on. I asked my supervisor if I could contact the examiners and send them the chapters where most of the corrections were needed, just to make sure they were satisfied, as I don't want to resubmit the whole thesis to have them say it is still not good enough. She said that I cannot contact them. Do any of you know or have an experience with this issue. It would really put my mind at ease if I knew that after doing the corrections they will allow me to pass, since I don't trust my supervisor's judgement anymore. Thanks!

From my understanding you have to send them the corrections formally and you cannot ask for them to review your work before resubmission. As if you could bounce drafts backwards and forwards, some awkward examiners would request several drafts, wasting everyone's time. It is better to submit it and see if they pass or ask for corrections.

However, I do think it is acceptable to ask for clarification about points.
