Even I was in a rut for good 2 months. I have solved ~150+ RCs in the last 2 months and my accuracy is still pretty disappointing.
You're not alone. I was going through the same doubts as before. For the last 5 mocks my scores were - 7, 3, 1, 17,31. I am not trying to say that things have been fantastic for me and everything's all rainbows for me. But is it getting better, I think so. Will I know for sure how my outcome is going to be on the CAT day, probably not, Its extremely unpredictable.
But don't give up. I am not sure what method you use in solving RCs or VA. But one thing that really helped me is after every mock, especially for VARC - I started writing question by question what my mistake was. eg. Did i not understand the question correctly, did i miss reading a key point, did I make a silly mistake, did i not read the answer options correctly, was it a difficult RC that i should've just left, did I answer as a sunk cost, etc. I try to read my mistakes, once every 2 days so that it registers in my brain and then I actively work on them in during my practice. I also write what I did correctly, so I remember the positives. My biggest problem was I was second-guessing myself at every question. That was costing me more marks than anything.
Just fyi - idts the accuracy can every be 100%, but it can get better. Build a process that works for you my friend! I am sure it'll work out.
