If you're looking for a systematic approach, I would reference Ursula's "Just finished..." thread. It's very popular.

First of all 640 is not bad at all considering your overall profile!
I would seriously recommend reconsidering your decision to reappear, if you are short on time.

If you have the time and the energy, then there is always scope for improvement, considering the potential you have. And for that there are numerous posts for motivation and numerous rescources. Look out for posts from twin, piyusht, ticktatoe, CTG1983 and many others...
