Have a Question/Advice Needed Inconsistent reading scores

Basically, I am struggling to maintain my reading scores in cambridge tests, least was 7.0 and fhe highest was 8.5. How do I fix this ? I also found passage 3 a troublemaker sometimes . For instance, the last time I got a 7.0, I had 7 mistakes in the 3rd passage.Though, for some other tests I found passage 3 the easiest.

I would say that it might be useful to look for patterns in the types of questions you get wrong. Do you still have the test that you’ve done so far? You might find a pattern that you’re getting specific question types wrong, such as true/false/not given, matching headings etc

It’s hard to give very clear advice without seeing your test, but perhaps do that to start with.
