yeah i agree with the everyone else. Especially since you’re a junior, you’re probably planning on taking it more than oncee, read more books! Books that are not exactly “easy” to read, but you can still understand.
Also VOCAB! Collegeboard not only reuses many vocab words, but they pick them out of a range of 1500-2500. Since you’re still a junior, you need to be in it for the long haul. Start with 10 a day, and then increase gradually. Within 3-4 months you can easily finish and review 2-3 thousand words.
Other than that, just start looking for the traps that CB puts into the Passage based mult choice. Because these traps are often repeated. I know that sounds crazy, but just go through each multiple choice question and decipher right from wrong, as well as why, and what was the answer that seems correct but isn’t. The text supports almost every answer, the rest are off your ability to make smart inferences. Which are made by becoming a more avid READER!

hope this helps, good luck
