How many credit cards should I have?

I current,ly have two open accounts.  one student loan account that has 5 months clean payment history and one secured card with a $500 limit, balance of $40 and payemnt history of 11 months.  I do have some closed CC accunts and vehicle loans. 

 

I am currently sitting at 630 score and would like to increas this but my concern is if I open a new card my score will drop right away?  Is this true? Should I wait? 

 

Thank you
