Learning from your mistake does help a lot when you’re scoring below 2000, so keep reviewing your mistakes. However, to be completely honest with you, learning from your mistake has a certain limit that requires a little bit of critical thinking to go beyond; the limit, I would say, is about 2080.
So here’s my solution to bring your scores up.

1. Math: Your SAT Math score is really good. I don't think there's other way to improve your math score except keep reviewing your math mistakes in the blue book.

2. Writing: Judging from the fact that you got 1990 with a very good math score, I'll assume that your writing score isn't really good. I'd recommend you to use Prepscholar, an online sat prep score. Prepscholar doesn't have a good reading prep program, but it has some really good writing prep programs. I was able to raise my writing score 30 points just from enrolling in Prepscholar.

3. Reading: I'll assume that your reading is also weak. To be honest, critical reading is really hard to improve because the reading section really depends on the student's intelligence... However, there is a way to improve your score. Let's first take care of the vocabs. Use Prepscholar's 200 essential sat words and Meritzer reading prep book's vocabs section. To improve our passage reading ability, use Meritzer reading guide book. Read each section in the book carefully and take your time understanding how each problem works. This book, if studied appropriately, will change the way you think and may improve your reading score SIGNIFICANTLY. I used this book, and my reading score improved over 50 points.

Those have been my words of wisdom, and good luck for your next sat exam.

Reference: I did pretty well on the SAT.
