Practice, practice, practice.

Use Khan Academy. Really read through why you got your answers right and wrong.

Buy the official Collegeboard SAT practice book, and again, really understand why the answer is what it is.

Use the official daily SAT question app. And again, read through why each answer is what it is. There’s a certain rhyme and reason to each type of question, and you’ll get good at understanding this if you practice with the official materials enough.

For the essays: practice writing. There’s prompts online, go find one, set the time limit for yourself, and write an essay on the prompt. When the half hour or so is over, throw it away, and try again. Twice.

Doing all of this for two months boosted my score by effectively 250 points.
