Hello there!

A very high goal you are setting. I have been studying English for the vast part of my life, and I doubt I can reach the scores you have mentioned. I can only say that studying hard for short amounts of time won't improve your grasp on the language drastically. The keyword is 'perseverance'. Anyway, good luck!

Regards

hi, i applied the iBT when it was first introduced here in Korea and received an overall 90 (low) and 12 in reading though I've a graduate degree. That is, no relation between being good at the language in general and having a really bad score. The reading part relies on several patterns and trics. To do well on that section, I would recommend you to pick any book and read carefully what is meant by each quation type and know how to handle it. I am setting for the exam again (that is, after 1.5 years of the previous time) and wishing to score as high as 110 or so. best wishes.
