that one with the circles and the arrows looked too hard to i just guessed without reading the questions

wrote about two pages for each writing task, so bad, i'll probably get like 12 for them

Yeah I was talking about that question in an earlier post...it was the most annoying thing ever! I gave up on the last 2 questions about that information and guessed them, but I happened to guess one of them right lol. I wrote about 2.5 pages for each writing task. Don't worry, it's about quality more than quantity :) Last year I wrote about the same amount, and ended up with a score of 45 for written communication, so it's nothing major if you don't write that much!

That series of questions about the electronic game with the 'paint' and everything annoyed the HELL out of me. I ended up guessing two of them because I gave up. Otherwise, it wasn't that bad...I was very happy with both my written pieces. But that paint question really made me want to tear up the booklet right there and then :P

That and the postcode questions were actually quite fun to do  :D

The GAT was so much fun! For the diamonds writing task, I was such a journalist, saying weird phrases like 'and as we navigate towards Ghana' and so on.

Then for the heroes piece, I said something really crazy about the fact that heroes are only human, and can't always achieve the expectations placed on them. I said something along the lines of 'lets pretend your mother is your hero. Now, hypothetically picture this situation. She must drive, no, to be more adventurous, fly, to a burning building, located 200 miles from your nearest shopping complex, in 3 minutes, all whilst trying to miraculously obtain a hose to put out the fire, and on top of that, rescue 20 different accountants from their cubicles... It is just not possible'.

 Lol, I miss the GAT already!

Yeah, those types of problems can be pretty challenging, but it's actually quite easy if you take it step by step. For that question, if you consider each of the four false statements one at a time and arranging the names in some sort of ladder as you go, the problem solves itself :)

I approached it like this:
Read first false information and wrote what I could about the 2 people (ther possible positions)
Read 2nd false info... if any of this could narrow down the position of 1-4 for the first 2 people i wood cross out the non-possibilities etc
