Questions 31-40 · 10 marks · 2 question blocks
Questions 31-36
Six three-option questions in a row is unusually dense for Section 4, and there is no pause in the middle. Pre-read as far ahead as you can during the introduction: falling one question behind here typically costs two or three marks, not one.

Questions 37-40
Four people, six statements, and no letter is reused. Because two options are never used, an answer you are confident about genuinely removes a letter from the pool for the rest, which is how you force the one you are unsure of.

What your score on this section actually tells you
One section is 10 of the 40 marks in the paper, so it is a sample, not a band score. What it is good for is diagnosis: look at which of the question types above you lost marks in and whether the same type has hurt you before.
If your errors cluster in one question type, that is a technique problem and it is fixable in a week. If they are spread evenly, it is usually speed — you are running out of time and guessing the last few, which shows up as scattered wrong answers rather than a bad block.
