The fictional passage was engaging and questions were direct. Students who read carefully could score 7\u20138 out of 8\u20139 questions comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Error Detection: Articles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditional error detection focused on Article usage \u2014 a classic grammar area. Standard preparation covers this well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target 25+ in English<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Faculty recommendation: stay above 25 in English. With RC being easy and Misspelt straightforward, 25\u201328 was very achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
