The best is to read read and read. Read slowly get the essence, then read the same one faster, see if you can engulf the information fast which is already known. With practice you will see you can read 4-5-6 words at once, get it's essence and move on. Read atleast 1 hour a day from NYT, Aeon, Gurdian - any article/essay would do - then ask any AI tool to create CAT type questions from there. You wont beleive me, but I was quite in your place a month back and as of today I can confidently cross 35+ marks on every sectional I give.
