Hey,
I struggled to make progress from just book learning.

Would recommend trying an online learning course and it might be worthwhile getting a private tutor for a couple of sessions to help on anything you are struggling.

Good luck with test two

Hi Kyuss, I agree with sarahrs that you may want to consider looking into a course or a tutor. Your results aren't bad but it sounds like there are still some core concepts you're not grasping. It also sounds like RC is messing you up, either because you're taking too much time reading or taking too much time answering the questions. Can you please elaborate on this point for me? If it's too long reading the questions, maybe change up your strategy a little to spend less time on the initial reading and more time analyzing what the structure of the passage is all about (first paragraph intro of topic, second paragraph one weakness of topic, third paragraph another weakness, etc)

You can probably achieve a higher score with just the practice material, but you'd likely see faster results with a little help. It all depends on your priorities and of course the amount you want to invest in this endeavour.

In any event, look over where you made your mistakes and take steps to correct this for exam two and you'll progressively feel more confident and sure of yourself.

Hope this helps!
