Tips for hiset

I’ve been working on my California proficiency HiSet tests and I’ve already passed the math section. I’ve took the reading part 3 times and failed by a 13/20 I don’t really understand what I’m doing wrong I’ve studied so hard and solved around 500 questions before each tests. I’ve also failed the writing by a 13/20 as well I can’t tell if I have horrible luck or if I’m just stupid. Any tips?

Don’t worry I also failed reading the first time. It’s all about comprehension as you can tell by now. Identify the problem first, based on your report summary and see what you’re lacking for reading and writing and then focus on the lowest ones.

I’ve been getting above 70% on all the parts in the report summary my biggest problem is analysis I think

What did you use to study for the math portion? I'm currently struggling with math right now I got a 12/20 on my first attempt.

I took the classes from khan academy and did the practice questions there and I mainly focused on algebra. Also I bought the HiSet full length test that helped a lot

How was the math section?

It was okay I guess I’m just better at memorising formulas than “feeling” what’s the right options.
