study vocabulary from prep books and take practice tests on the reading comprehension to improve your critical reading. vocab is an aspect of the test that you need to study consistently over a period of time to see results, but results definitely will come. My school has vocab quizzes each week since freshman year on words that appear often on the SAT, and my score increased dramatically.
For writing, also do some more practice tests and read the review section of a prep book (i.e princeton review, kaplan, collegeboard, etc). there are only a certain number of different ways that the SAT tries to trick you and once you recognize these you should score higher.
Good luck
