Major corrections in 9 months

P

Hello,
I passed my viva with "major corrections within 9 months" a few months ago. My deadline is approaching but I have not really worked on the correction much as I started working full-time shortly after my viva.

I am now really worried if my correction is good enough.. I know this is really case by case and difficult to advise others, but how much amendment is generally expected in the major, 9 months correction? I have amended/added words like 2,000 words each in 4 chapters out of total 8 chapters, so 8,000 words added roughly.

I know this is kinda stupid question but any experience or indicative information is much appreciated! please!

Thanks.

It's so difficult to say. Hopefully there will be some kind of dialogue and if more needs doing they will let you know? It does sound like you've done a lot.

I got minor corrections, which they said were substantial, but it only took a week max for me to do, so to me they are small, basic things. I think they overestimate the time needed, which makes you think you need to do more than you need to do. Having said that, I am waiting for the internal to sign off my corrections, so who knows, maybe he will say they are not enough!
