    Practice. Look at previous years' papers, and this will give you an idea about the kind of questions you can encounter and the type of preparation you will need. Ask for guidance from your teachers, hire a tutor if necessary, and challenge yourself to do exercises and questions that seem tough to you. Increase your vocabulary. Try solving longer and tougher passages in less time. Work on speed and accuracy.
