Ways to boost the score while candidate is in Express Entry pool:
Apply Early:

And each ability is judged and given a separate Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB). From CLB 4 candidate will start gaining points between CLB 6 and CLB 9. Candidates in the FSWP must have a minimum of CLB 7 in reading, speaking, listening, and writing to even be eligible for Express Entry.

Additional 50 points will be added with NCLC 7 and CLB 5.
