Ps Score not going up in between practice tests...

Ok, so after reviewing the material for the PS section, I have been taking practice tests just for that one section (I've taken 3 so far, going to take another one today). Not only are the scores low (6-8), they seem to be staying in that range!!!! I go back and review what I got wrong, and the trend seems to be my beautiful nervous self misinterpreting info from graphs/tables. I always seem to forget some minor detail, or not pay attention to the scale on the graph, or some stupid mistake. I know I know the material, is just the way this test works that's making me score low!!!!
I guess what I am trying to look for are study hints for anyone who has been in my situation. What did you do to pull your score up and make the practice really help you?
Also, can you bring highlighters to the test? 😛 I think that using them to make relevant information on the passage easier and to find/remember might help me out...haven't tried it yet..I just don't want to get used to using them and then not being able to use them on the test.

Thanks for all your help and I can't wait until all this is over!

No, you cannot bring highlighters, only pencils and pens.

Hmm sounds more like a speed issue, you might be going too fast. Have you tried slowing down a bit? Better yet, why not try taking one practice test without a time limit. If you do well, then its just a matter of you working on your pacing (which is easy to fix).
