How do you make your rapid rating closer to your tactics trainer rating?

If you look at my profile I'm about 1550 or below on rapid and every other rating, but then my TT rating is close to 2550, an almost 1000 point difference as of today! I have an about 2500 TT rating, why aren't my other ratings something like 1800?

The puzzle ratings aren't directly reflective of playing strength.  Puzzle ratings mostly reflect persistence. 

Look at the Puzzles leaderboard. The current leader has a score of 65,000.   Do you think that he would easily beat Magnus Carlsen?

Don’t do puzzles until you get better lol

but seriously, puzzles are always going to be higher... you can shorten the gap by positional play. Recommend Jacob Aagard’s “excelling at positional chess”
