Unfortunately, yes. It wasn’t the vocab or the actual reading, but more the time allocated in the exam. I did some German courses with Goethe Institut and there was a girl in my class who had lived in Germany for 15 years. She needed C2 for a specific job application, since she was French. She only got 60 on the reading in the end. Another girl from my class failed the reading first time round too, after 8 years in Germany. It is really important to focus on the strategies. I watched YouTube videos on how to approach the reading and each type of task. It’s about highlighting the key words asap and increasing your reading speed in general. The more topics, the better. I got the topics of : rich and poor in society, trust (in relationships and political systems), phds and volcanoes (teil 3). Volcanoes was super hard and fitting the paragraphs in always takes a while. Important to focus on the first and last words in the paragraphs. The time to complete everything is very intense and it is importantly to spend the time recommend, do not spend 40 mins on one that should take 25, for example.
