Let's call a spade a spade

If you are getting that low a hit rate, either the camera is faulty or you are actually working against how the system anticipates focus rather than working with it. And this is not a negative value statement about you. It often happens when people switch between cameras or systems--they expect it to work they way their brain thinks it should when actually they need to adjust their thinking to figure out how the camera works best.
Can you achieve a higher hit rate? Maybe not if the camera is faulty. Also maybe not if you are not really wanting to work differently with the system. That doesn't mean it's a bad camera, but it is one of the cheapest most trimmed down cameras in the line so I'm not sure the fault is that your expectations are too high or your camera is not set up optimally or not working properly.
Cheers, Seth
