I have my viva on Wednesday and I know for a fact that I won't recall the literature very well. I have despised my PhD over the years and nothing seems to make a difference when it comes to remembering references. Am I likely to flunk this thing? I have two publications so far. What stretegies can I use to deflect from my terrible memory? My friend has suggested giving a presentation with some references included and after this use the phrase "previous literature suggests..." I feel like I am going to fail this. Can anyone offer and advice....?

You can refer to your thesis, and you can put markers for important references. You're not expected to remember the entire thesis!
