I've taught for over 20 years... there is only ONE way to clear an SAT exam over which you have done poorly. You must retake it... the lower score will be cleared permanently. To score higher, take some preparatory SAT classes... it's worth the cost and your time... and it will give you an edge.

I got 2060 on the SAT. Here's how I prepared.
Critical Reading- I read lots of wordlists from sites like www.number2.com and I did many practice questions.
Math- My Dad is a great Math teacher, and he helped a lot. If you know a good teacher, ask them to help you out. Do a few diagnostic test and then concentrate on your weakest areas. Keep a log of the problems you got wrong and re-do them at some point to ensure that you've honed your skills.
Writing:
Essay- Again, my Dad. Get someone who will analyze your essays critically and who will give you points to strengthen your argument.
MC- Did lots of worksheets with my Mom.
Apart from this, I also did a very helpful collegeboard prep course on the net. I also did a Kaplan training class which was completely useless and I would never recommend it to anyone.
Bottomline- Don't worry about how long you study. Make it good study time where you get the most out of the time you spend. If you can get your parents to help or if you have a good teacher who can support you, there's nothing like it. Finally, be cool while preparing and on test day. The SAT is a minor challenge that we
have to face, so don't get worried or stressed and don't let it scare you.
Good luck!

I can understand your problem my buddy!!! Cracking the SAT Reasoning Test is quite irksome. It's just the test of Endurance. You need to be focussed and patient. Your aptitude and inclination towards your goal is a must. Take online coaching available at collegeboard and keep practicing essays, critical reading sections, writing from various books like princeton, kaplan etc... . Be relaxed and courageous to tackle the exam. Take the mock tests several times to master ur SAT.
GOOD LUCk!

What do mean by "clear."
Once you take it, you can't clean it from your records.
