Also, should I focus on my weakest section or perfecting my near-perfect sections first?
This is aside from 15 vocab words a day, by the way.

weakest, definitely.
@BethanyD Okay, so that would be critical reading for me. (then math)
I’m considering doing a section of Critical Reading and a section of Math a day from now till Jan. 23.
Will that be okay? Also, how do I review my critical reading mistakes? I read the answer and make the same mistake again later.
I’m confused - this sections tough! But I’m learning 15 vocab words a day so that’s great.
What words list did you use? @BethanyD
I’m not too sure I’m qualified to give CR advice, because it was considerably lower than my other subjects. But doing a section a day and analyzing your mistakes will really help. As for word lists, I used direct hits 1 & 2, barron’s frequent words list, and the 500 essential words. These should suffice. (7atta etha ma kont native!)
Explaining how to “learn from your mistakes” is the hard part… I will try, anyway!
First, I would advise you look at how the passage is organized - is it a claim then 3 body paragraphs each with an example to support it? Is the author recalling a memory and writing events chronologically?
Second, when you look at the incorrect choice you picked - skim it for that one word that wasn’t at all mentioned in the passage. Be careful, sometimes the info in the choice is very relatable but is, in fact, not endorsed at all by the passage. And that, in fact, might be why you make most, if not all, your mistakes.
Third, understand what makes the correct choice perfect. Base your answer on the text, and if possible, try to relate it to the passage structure. You’ll understand the importance of structure as you practice - for now you might not, and you shouldn’t worry about that.
My CR timing is horrible, so I can’t give any advice for that.
In math, what helped me do well was that I did a section every while. So I’m sure solving 1 section everyday should help you - specially if you are already smart at maths.
I did this to have a score in the 2100 range.
ey fellow Arab.
