Hi All, just thought I would add my thoughts here. CaptainR is a friend and had helped me through the process. I sat my Orals in Perth in September and failed. I had a 2 hour long grilling on mainly bulk carriers which I have never worked on. Just resat today and had a different examiner also in Perth. Just scraped a pass after being in there for 2.5 hours.
This Oral is not a small undertaking. It's a big deal and a lot of preparation is needed if you want to succeed.
I have questions for those who want them.
