Critical Reading - Try to brush up on vocab using Direct Hits and/or Quizlet. For passage-based questions, working through the CR passages without timing yourself will help you improve accuracy. As you do more and more tests, your consistency will improve (perhaps 3 tests wasn’t enough).

Math - Make sure that you have strong foundations in algebra, geometry and counting/probability. Just as with critical reading, work through a couple of tests without timing yourself, and try to get all of the questions correct. If you come across a concept/problem that you are unfamiliar with, look it up. Check out other threads on this forum for books specifically tailored for the SAT Math.

Writing - For the essay, just do what you did on the June SAT. For multiple choice, go through the tougher (Level 4/5) grammar questions, and try to master those. If necessary, learn some grammar rules. Most of all, you are really close to a point where you are likely to overthink whether or not a sentence really has “no error.” Don’t second guess yourself, and trust your gut instinct.

Hope this helps! Good Luck! :)
