Practice, Practice, Practice! Buy as many practice SAT books as you can find and keep taking practice tests, and make sure you learn as many vocabulary words as you possibly can. On my first practice test (out of the official college board book) I only scored a 2160(710 Critical Reading, 750 Math, 700 Writing). After 3 months of diligent practice (including memorizing 20 new words per day) I finally took the official test and scored a 2360 (Critical Reading:800, Math:760, Writing:800). It is definitely possible to improve your SAT score significantly especially if you examine the meta-cognitive steps (thinking about your thought process) that lead to successful answers, and build your knowledge basis especially for the critical reading and writing sections.
