ANECDOTE

Why She Did A Mock Viva

Susanna joined the viva because her study group used the podcast and a friend contacted the hosts to arrange practice.
She valued the mock viva as a less confronting rehearsal before the real exam.

ADVICE

Treat The Viva Like A Colleague Discussion

Dan (Stan) says the exam tests communication and collaboration, not just knowledge.
Practice explaining and engaging with examiners like colleagues to improve performance.

INSIGHT

Why Alveolar PO2 Is Lower Than Dry Air

Humidification, barometric pressure, and CO2/R (via PA CO2 / R) determine alveolar oxygen tension.
