Tripping on MP / inference questions

Hey folks. I've been averaging about 173/174 on the more recent PTs, but I've noticed that as I improve on the games and the LR, my reading comprehension scores have been dropping (from about -0/-2 per section to about -3/-5). I've almost exclusively been missing main point questions (?!) and author inference questions. Any tips as to what I ought to keep in mind as I tackle these specific question types? I'm so close to where I want to be on this test, and I'm grateful for the help.

    The EXACT same questions screw me over. Tagging for advice as well.

    Have you tried summarizing after each paragraph? Don't write it all out but just make shorthand notes or even just numbering like
    P1 - intro to copyright concept, 2 issues
    P2 - so and so's VP (disagrees w/ Auth)

    I think they just made those questions harder on the more recent tests :(

    Yea I usually try to ID the points and supports in each paragraph and ID the main point before I get to the questions.
