Reading improvement from 4.5 to 7.0+

READ READ READ

When you are at intermediate level (4.5-5.0) I would recommend reading some story books or the ones for kids(native ones).
E.g.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Alice in Wonderland
Or any other story book. Don't underestimate their value!
There are some books as well such as "The Old man and the sea".

When you are reading them write down new words to Flash cards app and revise them constantly.

2) There is an app called Quora where people ask their questions and get the answers from people all over the world. You can also search your questions and simply read the answers given by others. Not only will your reading comprehension improve but also you will get some possible solutions to your problems.

3) On the website of British council there is a set of reading materials and exercises on them. Definitely check it out and do them every day (choose B1)

Do not do practice tests, anyway you won't be able to get more than 5.5

Instead just do the stuff mentioned above for at least 30 days and focus on your General English
