I agree too. The courses aren’t very useful for high achieving students which your child clearly is. There’s a good chance for a fair amount of improvement in the natural course of things. (My younger son’s PSAT scores went up almost 100 points in math and almost as much in writing - his reading score was already reflective of the amount of pleasure reading he does.) Which brings me to my agreement with Tokeadult is that the best way to improve a reading score is to read - a lot. It doesn’t have to be great literature. Both my kids read mostly sci fi and fantasy with a smattering of non-fiction aligned with their interests. Computer manuals and math theory for the oldest, Air and Space magazine and history for the youngest.
