What's the best way to improve my scores?

<p>When I first took the SAT in January I got 710 in math (missed 4), 730 in CR (missed 3), and 770 in writing (missed 1 with an essay score of 10). I'm taking the SAT on June 1 and don't really know what to focus on to improve my score. I know that the January SAT curve for CR was harsher than usual so I'm hoping for an increase there as well as an increase in the essay score. However, I don't know what to focus on. It seems the essay grading is extremely subjective and I'm confused as to how to improve that score. Any tips, on the essay and overall?</p>

<p>essay: come up with examples that could be molded to any topic beforehand and come up with a format to use.
overall: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE If you don’t already have the bluebook, get it, and do every single practice test in the back. It will help, and it will improve your scores.</p>
