I went from a 2020 (740 M, 680 CR, 600 W) on the January 2007 test to a 2170 (800 M, 730 CR, 640 W) on the January 2008 test. My essay score stayed the same though (an 8). :-(

I still want to get it over 2200, though...

I got the exact same composite score >.< (2150) but it ended up being 50 points higher superscored. So yes, definitely take it again. Part of it is luck.

Me, 1640 (600M, 530CR, 510W 8 essay)
to 2240 (780M, 710CR, 750W 12 essay)

This is between about 14 months. I will tell you, I acquired every single collegeboard SAT (new and old) I could get my hands on, and I went at it over and over. You will begin to feel the CB, if you get my meaning. You will become the testmaker, (to a certain extent), and wrong answers will pop out and look so foolish to you. I did require some vocab building, but, I think getting to understand how words are assigned meanings, how to decipher them, and the connotations of words was the most valuable tool.

Practicing with college board resources only, I thin, is a surefire way to rocket your score. This is because you fall in sync with them. After so much practice, you will understand what they test, what kind of answer is right, and how to get to it. The only way to lose points then, is by human error, as with me in math, so keep a vigilant eye!
