I'm so frustrated with studying! 
I've taken 2 practice tests (both through Kaplan) and scored horribly on both occasions (below 500). Though I did improve a bit, I am having a hard time finding a strategy that improves my test-taking confidence. I guess the main issue that I'm struggling to figure out is:
"How do you know that you truly know the material? How do you know you're ready?"
I'm aiming for at least a 640, and I'm willing to put in the work, but I feel completely lost at this point. I was trying to give myself the opportunity to take the test twice before the new section is added but I'm nervous due to my previous scores.
It has been extremely frustrating as I know that I'm an intelligent person, but this test has been really difficult for me.
Could anyone please offer advice about the most effective study methods along with any other general advice for improving significantly on this test?
I refuse to give up.
Thank you! All responses are very much appreciated!
