to increase your SAT by 500 points the second time you take it?

I'm sure it is if you hire someone to tutor you.  Or if you study your hair grey.

I agree that hiring a tutor would help you tremendously in the areas you found yourself weak in, and suggest that you spend the rest of your time on test taking skills and reasoning problems as the SAT is testing you not so much for prior knowlegde than it is for your ability to reason and work out problems on your own.  Hope this helps.

Unless you had an off day that caused an abnormally low score, a 500 pt improvement would be difficult. But you may improve by a couple hundred pts via tutoring and practice tests before you take it again.
