I took the SAT for the first time, with no preparation, in March of 2012. I am signed up to retake it on October 6th. My goal is reach a score of 1800 (all three sections). I just purchased a Barrons test prep book. I have heard it overprepares people, is this true? My previous score was a 1650. Is it possible to go up 150+ points by October sixth? If so, can you give me a few pointers? Thanks!

If it makes a differences, here are my scores:
CR-560
Math- 540
Writing- 550
Essay- 8
