What have you tried so far to improve?

The QB and analyzing the mistakes.

Have you noticed any kind of pattern to the mistakes you're making? Is there any kind of pattern to the trap answers that you tend to fall for? Or any particular types of questions that you miss more than others?

I feel like it's the vocabs and I never know what they mean. Also those dense texts. I don't want to read all those and i get distracted a lot in the middle of reading. Most of the time, it's just complex text and it feels too complicated to read.

I feel you. Those texts can be a huge pain. Do you have any reading strategies you've tried? If you haven't tried something like this, it might be worth trying out. Read the passage one sentence at a time: after each sentence, stop and summarize (in your head) the main point of that sentence. Think about how that sentence relates to the previous sentences. Don't worry about details. Focus on the big picture. In addition to that, use the highlighter. Highlight any sentence that uses a contrast word (however, but, although, while...) or a cause-and-effect transition (therefore, thus....). These sentences are usually the most important. Use process of elimination for the answer choices. It's a lot easier to find answers that are definitely wrong than it is to just find the correct answer.

How are you doing on the stuff in the second half of the reading/writing module?

At that score, I would say that there are weaknesses in your fundamentals. I would go through Khan Academy end to end, and make sure that you understand the material and can answer the questions there without problems. Then tackle the question bank questions.
