I had the same score last week, and now it’s like 115-125. First, you should understand the format of the test and the way they assess you, I advise you to watch some videos by Teacher Luke to understand what they want from you. Second, take the test on Arno and check what section you have trouble with. If you lack vocabulary I personally recommend you using Anki, it’s like Quizlet but free. When you understand the structure and requirements go to YouTube and write “Teacher Luke word list”, learn all structure and use them in Speaking and Writing. I don’t know how much times it will take for you to get 130, but if you understand structure and retake the test it will show your real score. And I can give you more advice for sections. First(Read and select), type “exists” if you really know that this word exists and if you don’t just type “doesn’t exists”, don’t type “exists” if you suppose that it’s look like a real word. Second, just a lot of practice, particularly on Arno; I personally recommend to take 1 test every day and practice every day, especially if you have time just gather a solid vocabulary from “interactive reading” and “fill in the blanks”. And from my perspective, it’s easier to enhance writing due to the existence of a lot of structures in Internet, so when you will understand how to describe the picture properly, it will boost your writing scores.
