With oral exams what matters is the level of the other examinees sitting around you in the exam.Because the professor usually examines in a row and if a student cannot answer a question he asks the same to th enext one.So if you are surrounded by good prepared students you are very likely to be asked difficult questions to which they did not manage to answer.You are not likely to seem better than them if the proffessot has decided that a certain percentage eg 40% will not pass.
On the other hand if you are surrounded in the exam room by mediocre students you are likely to be asked easy questions.You will seem much better than them.So the whole oral exam is highly subjective.Another possibility is that the proffessor asks the next student for a detail after a first one has given a general picture.In this case if you are well prepared and answer the first question regarding general picture OK it is highly likely that you will be responsible for the fail of the next examinee who will be asked to clarify about the details you mentioned.
Of course all the above are valid when the proffessor is fair and asks questions in a row.There are proffessors who refuse to examine openly in a row and examine each student one by one separately so they can pass whoever they like by calibrating the difficulty of questions.There are also dirty tricks the proffessors use for example if they want that an examinee fails for whatever reason they can easily make him fail by asking questions only on subjects they scan he is weaker at.Another option for them is to doubt his right answers as to cause him confusion or not display any positive reaction so he will change the right answer to wrong one.All this is of course known to the examinees who have countermethods which can really fek the proffessor up if used correctly.The whole point is to disarm the proffessor.
