Hi, please take the following steps:
- create list with reading materials on subjects you are interested in
- spend at least 15 minutes reading a text every day
- when you read an article, try to understand gist, focus on the words and phrases you know
- write down new words and phrases and google them
- post specific questions here on the forum

Let me know what you think.

Regards,
Torsten

Hi

Torsten has made some good suggestions. I would like to add that, when you take such a test, it is usually helpful to read the questions before reading the text.

Torsten mentioned at 'least 15 minutes a day'. With only 20 days to go, however, you should definitely try to do more than 15 minutes of reading daily. Read as much as you possibly can and read a variety of materials. The topics should also be varied. Don't look at this reading practice as a chore, but rather as a reading adventure. :D

It's also important to make sure you are rested on test day. So, get a good night's sleep.

Amy
