# SSSA VIVA trainer

Okay guys, here is my attempt to answer all the VIVAs from past years in an interactive format which you can use to train and teach yourself the material.  Wherever you see the :page\_with\_curl: <mark style="color:blue;">(Notes)</mark>, follow that link to get back to the section in the notes which gives a more detailed answer.   If you see 🎓 <mark style="color:blue;">(Notes)</mark>, then it will link to more detailed notes.  These come from lectures, website notes ([PropofolDreams](https://propofoldreams.wordpress.com/) and [KetamineNightmares](https://ketaminenightmares.com/)), and study notes I've compiled which have been adapted to this site ([CICMwrecks](https://www.cicmwrecks.com) and [DerangedPhysiology](https://www.derangedphysiology.com) and ofcourse [lifeinthefastlane](https://litfl.com/)).

The way I imagined using this is to treat it like a VIVA.  Go to one of the years below.  It will have a link to each VIVA given on that day. &#x20;

If you're by yourself studying, the process might go something like this:

1. Read the stem
2. Start the timer for thirteen minutes and read the first question
3. Try to answer the first question. &#x20;
4. Repeat for all the questions
5. Go back and expand the answers and check yourself.&#x20;

If you're studying with a buddy

1. Get them to read the questions.
2. They will check you answers based on the expanded answers and add extra questions using the <mark style="color:blue;">(Notes</mark> :page\_with\_curl:<mark style="color:blue;">)</mark> links.
3. Keep to time.

If it doesn't work like this for you, or you have a better idea, please get in touch.
