I took the academic test too. I did worst in writing.
Maybe you wont have problems with the reading module. But if it helps, practice reading a magazine article for not more than 7 minutes. Also, you can try encircling proper nouns, numbers, or words written in bold or italics. They will probably come up in the questions. So it's easier to skim through.
I found the writing part difficult, especially the one describing either a chart or a diagram. Look at sample essays describing either of the following: pie graph, line graph, bar graph, pictograph, chart or table, or a process diagram. To reach the the 150 words, write an intro, a body and a conclusion. Use words that describe the movement of the graph, like escalate, drop, rise, fall, constant etc.
hope these help.
good luck!
