Success! 700 point improvement on the SAT! Now how to improve more?

I know 1920 is already like 200-300 points higher than the max score was when I took the thing.
2400.

@OP

My latest was was 670 for CR, 610 for Math (I take my time in math, which isn't good for timed tests), and a 740 in Writing.
Total was 2020. Now that I'm a senior and have forgotten all my SAT prep, I said 2020 was good enough since i probably wont go any higher. That was my second time, the first time I got 1910. For the colleges I want to go to, I'm good to go. Maybe slightly lacking in math.

I don't know how you can raise your scores. I took classes which really helped, and also did some studying.
From what you've said, you can take it again, but your score might not raise much, or it might even lower.
I can't really help in CR, to me it's just about your reading and comprehension skills.You could study 1000 Vocab words and only three or four might appear. Writing can be improved by REALLY studying grammar. As for the essay, you should work on getting your stance across clearly and concisely and also having a strong stance with exceptional and varied supporting examples. You need to make sure your not only connecting examples to your stance, but also explaining why your examples work.
That's all I know.
