Actually, a 640 is not that bad on a language test (that’s what I got!) One of the things is that these schools require proficiency and not fluency. Those are very different words. I generally define proficiency as someone who can read through a newspaper article and look up words in the dictionary that are not familiar. Someone who is fluent knows the word already.
