Just got to keep practising. Make sure you read The Economist, good boost right there. There is TBR, but it is not so good.

I'm not sure how you studied, but if you've done that many sections you likely already have your technique down (mapping(if you map), order of questions(if you order questions), order of passages (if you order passages)) ect. I would recommend the following.

ExamKrackers recommends that you go back through the passages and try to look at (and answers) the questions WITHOUT reading the passage. This is a reflection of an exercise in the Examkrackers verbal review book.

I would recommend cracking open the TPRH book and looking at its 10 question types. Then, go through all of your incorrect answers and mark down which types they are. Find the question type(s) that is giving you the most trouble, and read up on ways to correctly identify and answer those questions. Figuring out what you're doing wrong is half the battle!

Hope that helps.
 
Thank You everyone for replying me. I do suck at reading, so I will try to read through different material. Currently, I m reading Wall Street journal everyday. I will go bck to ek 101 and TRPH. Still, i think i might need do more practice. Is kaplan verbal book has good practice passage?
