Firstly, you have to be patient for doing better in viva. You will definitely be asked some unknown or uncommon questions. This is very much normal. So, do not over think about this. The criteria for passing the viva is not to answer all the questions correctly. This is not possible at all. You have to say “Sorry, I do not remember the answer at this moment” in terms of some questions. Take it as normal.     Secondly, you have to know about the question zone from which question may be asked.
