I’ve never actually taken piano, but I know the notes and I’m ok at sight-reading. Any ideas? I think i struggle with hand memory.

been playin the violin for 6 years now. i always write Royal School’s exams. ive always passed but my sight-readin is the worst. i alwys jus pass the sight-readin test. I can sight read grade 1/2 pieces but that doesnt help when im doin grade 5 this year. i suppose the main problem y i cant site-read is coz i memorize all my pieces within a month of playing them. i mean when i do my exam i never take my music book with the notes. i always play all three pieces from memory so technically im no longer readin – but i suppose LOADS of people can do that right? so any tips on how to improve this technique?

i tried to sight read, but i’m slow at it, and i also have another problem, how will i be able to place my fingers on the correct key to play the notes if i can sight read fast enough, i mean my pair of eyes can only look at either the sheet music or the keys on the piano,one at at time, if i sight read then how am i gonna know which keys to press out of the 88 keys or if i look down just for a sec or two , wouldnt i lose track of where i am at on the sheet music and ended up pausing the songs by a few seconds here and there?

I remember some1 telling me that i should be playin the bass cleft several times and try to memorize it and then play the treble cleft several times and try to memorize, then put it together and play the whole song. but it’s not workin i suck at memory, i mean i could remember some but forget some part, it is extremely slow and is this even the right method if it takes u a month to learn a song this way?
how does pianist sight read and play at the same time?
