PanelReady simulates the actual format of a live panel or oral examination. The examiner responds to what you say, asks follow-up questions on weak answers, scores you in real time, and gives a structured debrief at the end. We build specific environments for PhD vivas, professional assessments, and sector panels rather than generic question banks.

Most prep tools give you a list of questions and model answers. PanelReady simulates the actual dynamic of a live panel: follow-up questions based on what you say, real-time scoring, and a structured debrief. The session responds to your answers. Weak responses get pushed. Strong ones move forward.
PhD Viva (£70) simulates the PhD viva voce. You upload your thesis and the session draws on your actual arguments, methodology, and contribution claims throughout. Professional Assessment (£100) covers RICS APC final assessment and ICE Professional Review. Upload your evidence record and the session maps questions to your specific competencies and pathway. Both give 30 days access.
