I got an 800 on my SATs and I can promise you that most of the prep work was in taking challenging math classes. Being in Pre-Calc at the time, a fair amount of the curriculum coincided with the questions on the SAT. Calculus, however, doesn’t show up at all.

Additionally, taking as many practices courses at possible are a good idea. On sparknotes, you can take up to five SATs and up to three SAT subject tests (per subject) completely free (some of the exponents don’t show up right, however). They also have a very comprehensive study guide. I would also suggest going on collegeboard itself and studying (but you already know that) and practicing, practicing, and practicing :)
