We are not given the subjects before the tests, so it is somewhat impromptu.

Aside from the subject matter, any advice regarding preparation for the presentation?

Thanks, David

Solid advice. I've never failed an oral exam and I've never mentioned Theodore. Coincidence? Get to bed early, get up early. You want to be rested and fully alert. Good luck.

Take a couple of Vicodin, it'll relax you and they'll think you're cool as a cucumber under pressure.










J/K, good luck and I'm sure that you are prepared because you're just that kind of guy.
