Oral Viva / Quick-Fire Question List with Answers
A graded list of oral viva questions from easy warm-ups to deeper probes, each with a model answer.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Copilot)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Paste the prompt into a chat.
- 2. Type the chapter or topic.
- 3. Set the class level.
- 4. Send and skim the question list.
- 5. Read aloud and check the model answers.
- For a trustworthy answer key: paste the finished paper into a FRESH chat and ask it to solve and grade it as an unseen exam (it catches its own slips).
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If answers are too long to say aloud, reply: 'Shorten every model answer to one or two spoken sentences a student could say in a viva, keeping them correct.'
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a mathematics examiner conducting an oral viva.
CONTEXT: I need a list of ORAL VIVA / quick-fire questions for Class [CLASS/GRADE], [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / ICSE / State Board], on the chapter: [CHAPTER or TOPIC]. These will be asked aloud, so each should be answerable in a sentence or a quick calculation. I want [NUMBER e.g. 25] questions.
YOUR TASK:
1. Write [NUMBER] viva questions graded in three levels: warm-up (definitions, recall), middle (one-step reasoning or quick sums), and probing (why / explain / compare).
2. Cover the key ideas of the chapter without repeating.
3. Give a SHORT model answer for each (one to two spoken sentences, or the quick result).
4. Group the questions by level.
INPUT: The chapter is: [CHAPTER or TOPIC]. Use only this chapter.
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Answer each question internally and confirm it is correct and brief. Verify any numerical answers twice. Never invent formulas or values. Keep mathematics legible in clean LaTeX or plain text. Ensure each question is genuinely answerable aloud in a short time.
OUTPUT FORMAT, in this order:
1. HEADER: 'Oral Viva Question Bank - [CHAPTER or TOPIC]', class, 'Compiled by [YOUR NAME]'.
2. SECTION 1 - WARM-UP: numbered questions, each with 'Answer:' beneath.
3. SECTION 2 - MIDDLE: same format.
4. SECTION 3 - PROBING: same format.
RULES: Questions must be short and oral-friendly. Model answers must be brief and correct. Stay inside the chapter. Number every question.
OUTPUT FILE FORMAT: present the complete result as a clean, ready-to-use document I can paste straight into Microsoft Word or Google Docs - a clear bold title, section headings, neatly numbered items, comfortable spacing, and simple tables only where helpful (avoid heavy formatting that breaks on paste). It must also print cleanly to PDF on A4 (File > Print > Save as PDF). Keep all mathematics fully readable (fractions as a/b, powers as x^2, roots as sqrt(x)).
MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.
CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.
GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.
