My son took SAT twice with super score of 2190 without much studying. His weakness is vocabulary and reading.
I want him to do it once more to at least brake 2250 barrier to be considered for top schools, and, idealy, score around 2350. I know he can do it with a lot of preparations.

Am I being unreasonable or 2190 is good enough?

2190 is a great score. However, if your son is expecting to apply to the ivy league universities, typically 2200 or greater is expected. I would recommend for him to take it one more time, but no more than that. He should focus on school as well as the SAT.

To be honest, SAT is important but other than SAT, does your son have any other exams he can take like AP/SATII or even extraciracular activities like clubs/jobs? It is obviously that everyone is fighting for high SAT scores, but in order for such high SAT score to be substantive, I think extraciracular activities are important so I don't think you should be bugging your son too much about the exam but rather have his focuses and interests in place.
