<p>I think I have capped my math at (getting 750-800) on bb tests, and for may, I want to boost my cr, which is now at 700, and my writing, which is like... 680-720, with an essay of 8-9. Here is my question, in the month I have left, should I work on cr - memorize vocab, take more sections, etc, or work on getting my essay to a 10 ish, and crack through grammar sat books? I'm thinking to just focus on Cr, but... I can't decide if it is okay to
leave my writing down there at 690. I have heard different thoughts about if colleges care about writing section, could some one give me some advice? Max out cr, max out writing, or divide my time equally?</p>
<p>Work on them equally, your overall score is what matters to most colleges. Try and refresh math concepts every once in a while as well, so that doesn't drop</p>
<p>i have this weird feeling that colleges care more about cr and math, so i would concentrate 2/3's of my time on cr, and the other 1/3 on writing. but thats just me</p>
<p>I agree with hpa, since the writing section is still somewhat new a lot of college don't consider it as much. Plus you will be writing an essay for them anyway, so they can gauge your writing from that.</p>
<p>yeah... Im thinking I will first ensure I get both safely in the 700+ range, then devote my time to cr, bc I get the feeling the /1600 is used by a lot of colleges. Thanks for the advice,</p>
<p>Nick, CR and M are what most colleges are giving most weight to. The W component is still being evaluated at most selective schools. The UCs, I think, give equal weight to all three (perhaps some Californians can chime in to clarify).</p>
<p>Im happy that a lot of schools consider the TOTAL score because my math verbal score is kind of weak but like i can almost crack an 800 in writing (1 or 2 questions wrong).</p>
