Work on your timed readings!!!! No matter how well you know the material, if you can't finish in time, your score will stay low. My english teacher recommended this: watch a television program with closed captioning, and all other volume muted. As you watch/read, your speed will improve because you're interested in what's happening. Don't try and read something dull with a stopwatch: it'll never work. Find a way to study that isn't totally mind-numbing. Review formulas for math, and try to learn how to read those tricky graphs in the science section. Stop stressing! Relax, and keep in mind; there are always opportunities to improve.
