I don’t want to have a tutor

If your family can afford it, I personally think there is merit in having a few sessions so you know the “tricks”. As I said, everyone can read, but that’s not what they are test you on. A tutor would help guide you on the stuff that the College Board doesn’t publish about their tests.

ETA: most of the “top” schools allow you to superscore. You already have a superb math score, so if you focus on the reading (perhaps get personalized tutorial), you can join the “1500 club”. Again, I think you have a fine score, but unfortunately, unless you’re hooked, it will hurt you at your top, top reaches, from what I know.

Play the game and go for the “superscore”, literally and figuratively! But boosting for reading is different than boosting for math.
