Need reading comp help!

Before I started taking my online course, RC was my best section without prep/studying- I consistently scored 85%+. Lately I've been focusing on LG and LR b/c they really needed improvement. I've seen a huge jump in both of those scores, but have made the horrifying discovery 3 weeks out that my RC score has dropped about 20% in the last few practice tests I've taken...

Obviously I'll be doing some heavy drilling the next few weeks and will keep doing PT's... but beyond that does anyone have any helpful advice or have you experienced a similar problem?

I definitely went from -1/-2 on RC in the PT30's to -5+ in the PT50's. The passage itself isn't usually what causes problems but the difficulty lies in the questions and especially in deceptively attractive incorrect AC's. For me, this manifests itself in more time pressure and less accuracy.
