hi, i have done the test this year and got a spot into macrob 1st round. Similar to you, my strong suits were maths, numerical reasoning and vr. I think VR is easy as long as you have a very extensive vocabularly. I would reccomend having a word book where you learn a few days words every day (or every week). This will alow you to build your vocab which will not only assist you to build you vocab but also help you in the writing component of the test. For writing, I believe that everyone can write in their own styles but scoring high requires using high vocab, sticking to the prompt, being unique (creative) with your ideas. Ideally you want to give some sort of orginality so that the accessors do not compare your piece with others and rank yours low. For writing daily/weekly practice is crucial to get a hang of writing within the 20 minutes time frame and generating ideas on the spot. The prompts itself wont be to diffiuclt but its more of how you interpret it and generate quick and creative ideas. For RC (which is my weakest subject), the main advice i can give you is to do lots of RC. This requires getting some sort of tutoring for practice, doing worksheets online or purchasing books online or borrow RC books from the library. These strategies will assist you to develop better RC skills and be prepared for the test. Also, you got to be mentally prepared to the fact that there will be a variety of texts like poems, non-fiction, reviews, graphs, fiction, comics, reviews etc. You will need to read a variety of genres to grasp and understand how to interpret texts. To achieve all this I wouolod highly reccomend tutoring. Many people call James An useless; however, i strongly believe James An tends to give you a good insight into how the overall test is structured. I think VR and writing are almost identical to the actual test. I also went to melbourne tutorials which helped me to develop vital skills to ace the exam.
