VivaReady

About us

Practice that makes exam day feel familiar.

VivaReady started with a simple observation: doctors preparing for oral exams have plenty to read, but very few chances to actually practise out loud with someone who listens, probes and gives honest feedback.

Why we exist

Knowing it and saying it are different skills.

Study groups are hard to schedule around rosters, especially in rural practice. Colleagues are generous, but exhausted. Paid courses are valuable and expensive, and they happen on someone else's timetable.

We wanted a practice partner that's there at 10pm after a long shift: one that runs a realistic station, asks the follow-up you were hoping to avoid, and then shows you — point by point — what landed and what didn't.

We're a small, independent Australian team. We're not affiliated with any college or examining body, and we write all our stations, guides and rubrics in our own words.

What we care about

  • Calm over pressure

    Preparing for a high-stakes exam is hard enough. No red failure screens, no streak guilt — just clear next steps.

  • Show the evidence

    Every score explains itself, with your own words quoted. If we can't show why, we shouldn't be marking it.

  • Honest about AI

    AI helps draft stations and mark answers. Content a clinician hasn't reviewed is labelled as a draft, every time.

  • Your data is yours

    Stored in Australia, private to you, never sold, and deleted when you ask.
