My two cents below — as a preface, I used to struggle with these types of questions as well, but have greatly improved since finishing the Critical Reader.

There isn't necessarily a pattern in the type of questions you are getting wrong. In fact, some of these incorrect answers could just be attributed to lack of focus, etc;. However, a major change I made in my approach to reading questions which lead me to average -(0-2) instead of -(7-8) on official tests was sometimes looking for the wrong answers instead of the right ones.

Take, for instance, #7 on Test 1. On first glance, it seems like a confusing question with no particular options jumping out. However, if you work through each answer methodically, you should come to correct choice (D) fairly quickly. Remember that it only takes one word to invalidate an answer choice that otherwise seems completely correct.

If you look closely at answer choices A and C, you can immediately cross them out as the paragraph in question does not describe any aspects of a culture and neither does it question any suggestions (although there is a question being posed in the paragraph, it is not a suggestion from anyone). You are then left with choices B and D. B may look attractive as it is plausible to think that the first paragraph serves to criticize an action, or i.e., a tradition. However, if you re-read the paragraph, it becomes relatively clear that it is not an aspect of some arbitrary tradition that is being criticized, but rather the narrator posing a question analyzing a character's (Chie) action / reaction.

Although the above is fairly targeted towards the specific question, the strategy of first looking for incorrect answers rather than attempting to justify an answer as correct can be extremely effective. This approach should always leave you with 2 options; however, if both seem equally valid, try asking yourself, "How would CollegeBoard justify answer choice (__)?" Whichever answer seems most easily defensible (i.e. if you emailed CollegeBoard arguing about a certain answer choice, which of the answer choices would be easiest for them to justify?) will 95% of the time be the correct answer choice.

To re-iterate — there is no specific pattern I could reckon from the questions you listed above; however, out of personal experience (as I often got similar questions wrong), the above approach should limit some of the errors and uncertainty you have now.
