i suck at section 2. help?

that means u fail as a human being

jst joking.... dont b 2 fussed

lots of ppl in my year bombed the first section, it doesnt really matter if its not too flash as long as your other sections are pretty good.

the fact of the matter is that whilst u can kinda improve on the other sections, section II is basically your personality, and u cant change it.

doing badly doesnt mean ur not a nice person, it just means that your perception of the world is diff from hueva wrote the question.

btw section 2 was my best section

strong word power helps in the "how does this person feel?"
try doin crosswords to improve

also don't ask: "what do i think?"
ask: "what do they want me to think?"
>>> a bit sneaky but ur gonna be able to do that better than trying to change ur personality

Lol how do u know u suck already :P

Read the passages carefully and look for key words

what I found the best thing to do is to ask yourself why each of the options are wrong. The one u can't justify being wrong is the right answer. Also reading helps tonnes here

i got my hands on some **** material and when marking section 3, i get only 1 or 2 wrong (mainly the arrange these in order and pick the middle one). section 1 is good to me, around 5-10 (range is from doing ****questions) wrong. And then comes along section 2 and really sucker punches me

i guess it's the similar feelings for eg
