Which is more important? CR or Writing?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I took the first 5 practice tests of the Official SAT Study Guide and I have consistently been scoring low in Critical Reading and Writing. I got perfects on the math section except for one of the practice tests, so I will not worry about math. Considering the time left until the test, I will not have enough time to study for both. </p>

<p>My Scores were(All implying that I got an 8 on the essay): </p>

<p>Practice 1:
Critical Reading: 620, raw 48
Writing: 510, raw 23
Math: 800, raw 54</p>

<p>Practice 2:
Critical Reading: 560, raw 40
Writing:570, raw 35
Math: 800, raw 54</p>

<p>Practice 3:
Critical Reading: 630, raw 52
Writing: 560, raw 32
Math: 800, raw 54</p>

<p>Practice 4:
Critical Reading: 600-680, 52
Writing: 580-720, raw 36
Math: 53, raw 750-800</p>

<p>Practice 5:
Critical Reading: 580-640, 47
Writing: 600-730, 38
Math: 800, 54</p>

<p>My scores for critical reading and writing are drifting around at the same scores. Which should I prioritize?</p>

<p>CR. Many colleges do not look at the W score.</p>

<p>Thank you. I researched online and CR is indeed the more important one in most cases. In addition, One of the colleges that I am planning to apply to does not take the writing score into account.</p>
