About this course

The viva is the last stage and the only one where the board meets you. It typically carries **25 to 50 marks** — smaller than the written examination, but frequently decisive between candidates whose written scores are close. It is also the stage candidates prepare least. Many arrive having studied mathematics for a year and banking terminology for an afternoon, and it shows within two questions. A board that works in banking notices immediately whether a candidate understands the sector or has memorised definitions. The good news is that the viva is **highly predictable**. The areas questioned are a known list, the situational questions follow recognisable patterns, and the presentation standards are fixed. Three weeks of structured preparation converts this from the weakest part of most candidates' performance into a strength.
