Raising the SAT Scores

<p>Hi! I'm an international student and currently freaking out because of the SAT Scores. The first time I took the test I received a 650 Maths, 690 CR and 590 Writing (6 E), and the second I received a 660 in Maths, a 700 in CR and a 690 in Writing (a 7 essay), a total of 1930 and 2050.</p>

<p>English (languages, actually) is my strong point, yet I can't seem to get more than a 700, even when practicing. I haven't tried out the tips at the guides I found here because, as a senior (sort of) there isn't all that much time for studying stuff outside of the syllabus (so I get to practice once a week for each of the 3 sections + a practice test), but I was wondering if there were things I could do until the October SAT, especially for the Essay (I only had 2 Multiple Choice questions I got wrong because I'm a grammar nerd) that didn't take that much time. Or should I just read stuff and just cram everything 10 or 20 days before the test, just focusing on it?</p>

<p>Thanks for the time :D</p>
