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.

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