This is an old thread, but I think 7 points is realistic with the right preparation. I improved 50 points from a 164 Sophomore year to a 204 Junior year. I followed some conventional wisdom on CC, and it worked well for me. Things that helped me:

[ul]
[]Direct Hits - this helped me do well on the sentence completions and boosted my critical reading score.
[]Doing the SAT Question of the Day every day.
[li]Practice. This was the biggest reason for my improvement. Not just taking practice tests, but also going back over the problems I got wrong and finding out why I got them wrong.[/li][/ul]
