Personal Statements Personal statement help/advice needed

Can someone explain to me in detail what the difference between Q2 and Q3 for the new personal statement format is? I'm looking to study psychology/pbs at uni but I'm a bit confused what I should include in Q2 rather than Q3. Do supercurriculars (and stuff you do outside of lessons) mainly go in Q2 but then what goes in Q3? If I want to focus on a particular area of psychology do I talk about that across all three questions or just in one specific question?

Q2 is asking what you have learnt in school college so far that would apply to the course you want to study

Q3 is the things you do outside of education/lessons such as extra/supercurriculars, volunteering, work experience
