Section 1 tests your ability to interpret a diverse range of texts while Section 2 challenges you to think critically and articulate unique viewpoints. These two sections are deeply interconnected: the more adept you become at empathising with different perspectives, the more compelling and organised your essays become.
That excellence in Section 1 and 2 depends on:
Actively engage with the text: delve into the author’s tone, assumptions, and purpose- skills that directly translate into richer essay ideas for Section 2.
Build on the reflective education needed for S1 success to develop your written expression for S2 success. Enhance your coherence, clarity and quality of ideas in a timed manner.
