What you will get

A mock defence where the examiner asks one question at a time, from easy to tough, on methods, findings, limitations and contribution, with feedback on clarity and depth after each answer.

Why it works

Defences test whether you can explain and defend choices under pressure, so the prompt asks for one question at a time, rising in difficulty. Covering methods, findings, limitations and contribution matches what examiners look for. Feedback after each answer turns practice into improvement, and recording yourself shows habits you cannot see from the inside.

Common mistake

The questions are generic because it does not know your thesis.

Fix: Paste your abstract and the chapter titles in your first message, so the examiner can ask about your actual choices.

Also watch for
  • The feedback is too kind. Ask it to grade each answer from 1 to 5 and say what a top answer would have included.
  • You type polished answers instead of speaking. Answer out loud first and record yourself, as the tip says, then type what you actually said.
Try a variation: hostile examiner

Ask it to play a sceptical examiner who doubts your method, interrupts long answers and asks “so what?” after each finding.

Still not right? Reply with this

Ask me the three hardest questions an examiner could ask about my limitations section, one at a time, and push back if my answer avoids the point.
