Don't go just by the number of attempts, people... more than 50% attempts should be good, by any standards, if you maintain an accuracy of over 80%.
All the best!!

Overall a good section
Q Types includes fill in the blanks, correct usage, sentence correction, complete the paragraph, chosing correct word out of 2, 4 short passages with 4-5 questions each.
Surprisingly, no para jumbles  and thankfully no FIJs 
Attempts-28/40, hoping for a good accuracy
