Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else had the feeling that i am having now, i feel that i am going to fail my PhD!
Sometime i think that my work is good , a minute later i feel that it is not good enough and i will be sent back with major corrections in my viva! My viva is only 6 days away, and i keep on telling myself that I will pass, while at the back of my head, this feeling keeps on pop-ing in between my eyes!

Know your subject and revise well, when I did my viva for my PgCert, I had something to drink whilst it did it for something to calm my nerves.
If you can take water in exams etc, take it in a favourite mug or cup or whatever and it should help you to cheer up.
Hopefully you'll have passed the viva and got a shiny new PhD
hey! it is 100% normal to have doubts about your own work, in fact, I think it would be pretty odd not to have doubts! Just try to relax as much as possible and enjoy the experience. It really is quite nice to have 2 people who have read your work and then ask you questions about it. Good luck! enjoy the post viva celebrations!
