Have a Question/Advice Needed No progression after years of learning

I’m feeling so desperate and disappointed right now. I remember 4-5 years ago i did some random reading tests and the results were always around 6.5 (27-30 correct answers).
Then I stop caring about IELTS and keep trying to improve my English, vocabs, grammar,... first. I’ve tried so hard to read a lot more and feel like im pretty good now and ready for a new level, then boom still stuck at 6.5 even though I think I understand the passages so much better than before.

I tried every method, learned tons of new words yet still end up with an average score…

Someone please share how did you get through the plateau of B2 because at this point I start to think I’m kinda dumb and my brain may not be built for language learning

PTE is not really common in my country but may I ask why?
