FICO 5 EQ Score Boost

What are some good ways to bring up that score? I'm right now at 751 and try to get it to the 780 or 790 range. My AooA is 4 years. Credit card debit is like $1200 to $1500 that reports over 5 cards. Three student loans with a total balance of about $3500. Two new ones from Jul 2021 and one from Oct 2020. I'm trying to increase my score to help my chances to get a pre approved offer with DCU, I know their is no guarantee with it but wanted to put my best foot forward. Ta!

1. Make no credit applications of any kind, or do anything that could trigger a hard credit pull.

2. Maintain your 5 revolvers so that 4 report zero balances, and 1 reports a small balance before you pay it off. Let the small balance card be a bank card, not a store card or credit union card.
