..when i read the paper 2 i was like wtf.. they didn't ask for my related text .. It was a joke man... i prepared so much for my related text and didn't get to use it... damn it.. the living in the community part was alright , quite similar to the trial. I found the listening was so damn much easier then my trial.. The question is very straightforward... overall , it was a fair exam..

Not only that but it's to do with her tone of voice.
Edit: as True2azn said
And for the psychologist one, you need to have emotional responses as well as physical ones.
